BILLINGS—The administrator of the popular Facebook group ‘What’s Doin’ on the Manitoulin’ was arrested on April 11 and charged with criminal harassment.
The OPP reports that the Manitoulin OPP began an investigation regarding criminal harassment in Billings Township. Township staff reported ongoing unwanted communication from a member of the community.
As a result of the investigation, Bill Concannon, 57, from Billings has been charged with two counts of criminal harassment.
Bryan Barker, Billings mayor, told The Expositor, “under the circumstances of this going before court I am not prepared to make a statement at this time.”
As has been reported previously, on November 28 Billings Township sent out a trespass notice to Mr. Concannon for three months; the policy was reviewed by council in February and extended to August. Under this policy Mr. Concannon is prohibited from attending the township office, council and committee meetings.
The accused was held in custody and was scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Gore Bay on Friday, April 12.
