(MORRIS-TURNBERRY, ON) – A North Huron resident remains in custody after police tracked him down hiding out at a cabin located on Huron-Bruce Road. Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers received information on July 14, 2015 that a wanted male had broken into a cabin and was taking shelter in the cabin. Just after 3:30 a.m. officers from Huron OPP, South Bruce OPP and Wingham Police Services converged on the property and set up containment.
Officers were able to instruct the male over the phone to walk out of the cabin and turn himself over to police. After some discussion the male complied and surrendered to police. He was immediately placed under arrest for the outstanding warrants and subsequently searched. Upon searching the male, officers found the male to be in possession of knives, a small quantity of marihuana, drug paraphernalia and prescription medication that was not prescribed to him. In addition, he failed to comply with conditions of his probation orders and recognizance.
As a result, Michael BENNINGER, 27 years of age, from Wingham has been charged with 44 criminal code charges. Charges include: Break & Enter, Mischief Under $5,000, Possession of Cannabis Marihuana, 30 counts of Fail to Comply with a Probation Order and 11 counts of Fail to Comply with a Recognizance. He remains in custody with an upcoming court appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice – Goderich.
