Investigators with the Sault Ste. Marie Police Services have charged 46-year-old Ronald Charles Freeman of James Street with second degree murder in relation to the stabbing death of a 46-year-old male by the name of Patrice Gregoire. This was not a random incident and the two persons were known to one another. The accused has been remanded to the Algoma Treatment and Remand Centre.
On the 11 July 2014 Children’s Aid Society workers were performing their duties when they were allegedly threatened and criminally harassed by a male who objected to what they were doing. The man was located by the City Police on the 18 July 2014 and charged accordingly. Jeremy Bjorna (age 36) will be appearing in court on the 25 August 2014 at 9 a.m. to answer to the charges.
On the 18 July 2014 City Police attended for a disturbance in the 1600 block of Wellington St East. On arrival, police were met by an intoxicated male who berated them with insults and was very aggressive wanting to fight with the police and his neighbours. Despite repeated warnings the man refused to calm down and go back into his residence. He was taken into custody for breach of the peace as it was felt if police left the area the man would continue his behaviour and a confrontation with his neighbours would be inevitable.
