HALIFAX A 51-year-old man from Ammon, N.B., has been sentenced to three years in prison after he plead guilty to charges connected to an investigation into images of child sexual abuse. The investigation began in May 2019 when police executed a search warrant at a home in Ammon, N.B., resulting in the arrest of a 49-year-old man at the scene. He was released on conditions pending further investigation, according to RCMP. On May 15, 2020, Wayne Wilfred Toole was charged with possession of and making available child pornography. Toole returned to court on Thursday and was sentenced to 36 months for possession of child pornography and 36 months for making available child pornography.
Porter s pay classification was Certification 4, which, during the dates he worked was a daily rate of $197.21, Hanlon said.
The district was unaware of the allegations against Porter when it hired him, according to a statement from superintendent Zoë Watson.
He was known to the district as Herman Porter, she said in an email late Monday afternoon. Anglophone South maintains high standards of professional conduct, and the examples of [alleged] misconduct you ve listed do not align with behaviour tolerated in this district, Watson said. We would not hire a candidate if it were made known to us that that individual were under investigation in any capacity, be it self-disclosure or information provided by a reference or otherwise, and when or if new information comes to light regarding an employee, such as what you have described, we would not hesitate to end our employment of that individual.

Kennebecasis regional police say reports of a person with a gun prompted a heavy police presence at a Quispamsis school on Monday.
Insp. Anika Becker said officers were called to Chris Saunders Memorial Elementary School around 1:15 p.m. for a report of a suspicious person with a firearm in the area.
Becker said the school was locked down as officers scoured the area looking for the individual.
About an hour later, police determined there was no actual threat and that the report was “unsubstantiated.”
The lockdown was lifted and students were allowed to leave for the day.

An arbitration matter involving a now-retired Kennebecasis regional police inspector accused of inappropriate conduct against a civilian employee has been terminated.
The New Brunswick Police Commission held a “brief procedural call” Thursday in the case involving Jeff Porter.
The call took place the same day that Porter, who had been suspended with pay since June 2016, officially retired from the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force (KRPF).
“Arbitrator Gary McLaughlin has determined that as Jeff Porter is no longer a member of the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force and no longer a member of a police force that he, Arbitrator McLaughlin, no longer has jurisdiction to hear the complaint,” the police commission said in a statement Thursday.
