JAIL GUARD FACES TRAFFICKING CHARGES

A second correctional officer at the Central North Correctional Centre has 
been charged, this time after banned substances were found inside the facility.

After a long investigation, OPP arrested a 37-year-old Oro-Medonte resident 
after cocaine and marijuana were found in the jail.

He was charged with trafficking a controlled substance, and breach of the 
peace. He is scheduled to appear in court in Midland on Jan. 6.

Another correctional officer was charged for bringing a controlled 
substance into the workplace in March. That case is still before the courts.

In other police news:

and charged with assault.

- - Thieves managed to sniff out a box of chocolates in Tay Township, but the

19. A box of chocolate truffles and two rings were taken. If you have
