MORDEN, MB – As reported on MyToba in August of this year, a 52-year-old Morden man was charged for reporting a would-be terrorist attack during the 2016 Corn and Apple Festival.
The week leading up to the festival, police received information from the man with specific details about a terrorist attack. The report was confirmed several times with the accused to ensure that his information was accurate, which he assured police it was.
As a result of this information, police contacted the National Security Enforcement Section to assist with the investigation. After several interviews and many hours involving resources from several agencies, the accused admitted that the information was not factual.
The accused man appeared in Morden Provincial Court on November 24th and pleaded guilty to Public Mischief. He received a $1300 fine, probation and is required to reimburse all police agencies for costs totaling $4,551 as a result of this investigation.
