WINDSOR, ONT. A state of emergency has been declared and several homes have been evacuated after a hazmat situation in downtown Wheatley. Chatham Kent Fire Service crews from Wheatley and Tilbury attended 16 Erie Street North in downtown Wheatley Wednesday just before 2:30 p.m. for a reported gas leak. “It’s definitely not natural gas,” said Chatham-Kent fire chief Chris Case. “This is predominantly the type of response we get from an old gas well or capped well. It’s typical of that type of release.” Windsor Hazmat team attended Wednesday evening to assist. Several businesses with residential apartments above them were evacuated as a precaution. Police were also on scene and closed the road due to the strong odour.
A Chatham-Kent Police officer has been found guilty of several charges under the Police Service Act.
Constable Darcy Lunn pleaded guilty to one count of neglect of duty and three counts of discreditable conduct.
The offences, which occurred while Constable Lunn was off-duty, date back to 2009, but authorities say they weren’t reported to police until 2019.
Following an OPP investigation, criminal charges were laid. In May, 2020, Lunn pleaded guilty to charges of assault and uttering threats, which resulted in a suspended sentence and three years’ probation.
The CK Police Service Act investigation began shortly after, resulting in the latest charges.
