By: Huron County OPP  May 25, 2016  1585

(GODERICH, ON) – A Goderich resident remains in custody on a number of charges, following his court appearance early Wednesday afternoon, May 25.

Shortly after 8 a.m., May 25, the Huron County OPP was called to the Victoria Park splash pad washrooms after a concerned resident spotted a man acting suspiciously in the area.
 

Police officers arrived on scene and were able to make verbal contact with the man who was still hiding out in the washroom. He refused to identify himself and refused to exit the washroom. Officers had concerns for the man’s well-being so they entered the public washroom and found the man in possession of drug paraphernalia.
 

Upon searching the man, officers found he was also in possession of a prohibited weapon (flick knife) and break-in tools.  In addition, he was in possession of identification and credit cards that had been stolen from a vehicle parked on South Street.
 

Upon confirming the man’s identity, police also learned he was currently serving a probation sentence in the community. 
 

As a result, Brandon WEITZEL, 25, of Goderich has been charged with the following offences:
 

• Possession of Property Obtained by Crime

• Possession of Break-in Instruments

• Unauthorized Possession of a Weapon

• Possession of a Weapon Contrary to Prohibition Order (two counts)

• Fail to Comply with Probation Order (two counts)

He remains in custody with a court appearance scheduled for May 30, at the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich.
