On May 16, 2024, Detectives in the Major Crime Section of our Criminal Investigation Division began a Criminal Harassment investigation into a community member after receiving a complaint from a City of Greater Sudbury Councilor. The harassment of the councilor began in 2022 and has continued throughout 2023 and 2024 escalating from harassing communication to attending and harassing the councilor at their residence causing the councilor to fear for their safety.

On May 21, 2024, Detectives arrested and charged the 81-year-old man with Criminal Harassment. He was released on an undertaking with a court date of June 19, 2024, to answer to the charge.

This is a reminder that there are proper and appropriate channels available to community members who are looking to contact Public Officials. Attending an individual’s private residence is not an appropriate avenue. Please be respectful of their privacy and the privacy and safety of their family members.
