He faces 19 criminal charges, including multiple weapons offenses related to a handgun and fleeing from police. Ladouceur appeared virtually in court from a holding room at the Central North Correctional Centre in Penetanguishene seeking bail. It is unclear if his arrest and charges are directly linked to the ongoing investigation. The allegations against him have not been tested in court. Police have linked another location to this operation. The Cardwell Lake Road area in Huntsville remains under investigation. It is unclear how this northern region connects to the wooded area west of Anne Street.
