Aylmer Police consulting Crown Attorney on church charges

April 28, 2020 | 2

Aylmer Police Chief Zvonko Horvat, in an announcement on Tuesday, April 28, stated that evidence of the Sunday, April 26, drive-in service at Aylmer Church of God had been provided to the Crown Attorney.

Together, he said, they would decide on how to proceed, but he also noted that the evidence was for a “Part 3” charge by summons, which could lead to a potential fine of $100,000 against the service organizers if convicted.

Church Pastor Henry Hildebrandt, in his own statement issued later that day, denounced the police chief’s action, and stated, “We remain relentless in our resolve.”

    Am not familiar with the property outlay there at the Church …Are these 2 “Aylmer Police Servive” officers standing on Church property while involved in this above noted activity, or are they not ?

    We remember several years back that the Town of Aylmer considered letting the Professional OPP take over these duties in the Town… It may be appropriate to revisit that decision soon.

    • Yes, they were on church property videotaping without permission or a warrant.
