Vehicle mounts curb, driver blows 3x over legal limit: Barrie police
According to police, the woman was found by officers walking away from her vehicle 'and appeared unsteady on her feet.' The officers spoke with the woman, who they claim was obviously impaired.
Police say she was arrested and taken to the station where a series of tests were conducted, allegedly determining the 47-year-old woman from Alliston had a blood alcohol concentration well above the legal limit.
The accused was later released from custody and will have to appear in court to answer to the impaired driving charge at a later date.
As a result of the offence, her vehicle will be impounded for seven days and her licence was suspended for 90 days.

Thieves grab US$2 million in jewellery in Seattle heist that took less than two minutes
Suspects stole over US$2 million from a jewelry store in Seattle. SEATTLE — Smash-and-grab thieves in Seattle made off with an estimated US$2 million in diamonds, luxury watches, gold and other items in a daring midday jewellery store robbery that took just about 90 seconds, police said Friday. Video from the West Seattle store's surveillance cameras shows four masked suspects shattering the locked glass front door with hammers and then ransacking six display cases Thursday. One display held around US$750,000 worth in Rolex watches, police said in a statement, and another had an emerald necklace valued at US$125,000. A masked suspect threatened workers with bear spray and a Taser, police said, but no one was injured. 'We're pretty shook up as a staff,' Josh Menashe, vice president of the family-owned store, said by phone Friday. 'We're gonna be closed for a while.' Menashe said workers finished cleaning up the broken glass and were working on a full inventory of the losses. Police said they responded to the robbery but the suspects had already fled in a getaway car and eluded a search of the area. Cedar Attanasio, The Associated Press

‘The grief never goes away': Family of serial killer victim speaks during court hearing
The family of a woman murdered by a convicted serial killer in Winnipeg over three years ago had the chance to address a courtroom on Friday and share how her death has impacted their lives. 'The grief never goes away,' said Albert Shingoose, Ashlee's father, who was visibly emotional and at times yelled at the lawyer of his daughter's convicted killer. Ashlee Shingoose, a 30-year-old from St. Theresa Point Anishinew Nation, is believed to have been killed in March 2022 at the hands of convicted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki. 'Living with this kind of pain is not really living,' Albert said in a written victim impact statement that was read aloud by St. Theresa Point Anishinew Nation Chief Raymond Flett. 'She left our home alone and she was doing her best to keep her dreams and goals in mind, even when she had setbacks and challenges… she had a beautiful life ahead that would have been as beautiful as she was.' For years, Ashlee's identity remained unknown, and she was gifted the name Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe, which translates to Buffalo Woman, by members of the Indigenous community. Skibicki was convicted in July 2024 of her murder along with three other Indigenous women—Morgan Harris, 39, Marcedes Myran, 26, and Rebecca Contois, 24—but Ashlee's identity was not known until March after police made a positive identification using DNA from evidence. 'When we finally got confirmation that Buffalo Woman was (Ashlee) it was like my heart had stopped,' Albert wrote in his victim impact statement.

Her father held an eagle feather as he spoke and was surrounded by supporters. Ashlee Shingoose in an undated image. (File photo) Ashlee Shingoose in an undated image. (File photo) Manitoba Court of King's Bench Chief Justice Glenn Joyal said the hearing was held to 'provide the Shingoose family with the same opportunity as was provided to the families of Mr. Skibicki's other victims,' who gave victim impact statements during his sentencing last year. 'It is an opportunity to acknowledge the dignity of Ashlee Shingoose, to acknowledge who she was, where she came from, who she loved, and what was lost with her murder,' said Joyal in his opening remarks. 'I want an eye for an eye': victim's father Notably absent from the nearly full courtroom was Skibicki, who was under no legal obligation to attend. The hearing, which was of an 'extraordinary nature,' had no impact on Skibicki's legal jeopardy, according to Joyal. 'I wanted Mr. Skibicki here,' said Albert while looking at Skibicki's lawyer, Peter Kingsley. 'I would have said to him, 'I want an eye for an eye,'' said Albert. Kingsley said that Skibicki's absence was not out of 'disrespect,' but that it was his client's 'firm belief that his presence in the courtroomwould bring further harm' to the family and others. He said that he would relay the comments to Skibicki. Albert's statement said he combed the streets of Winnipeg for months after learning of Ashlee's disappearance. 'Although my wife wanted to join me in this search, she could not leave our children and grandchildren, so we had to make the decision for me to go out on my own. I left with whatever little financial resources we had as a family because our daughter needed to be found,' he wrote. 'I don't think there are words strong enough to describe the pain I live with every single day.' In August 2024, Skibicki was sentenced to four concurrent life sentences with no chance of parole for 25 years for the murders. However, Albert voiced his concern over the possibility of Skibicki's release on parole. 'He took my daughter's life away; why should he come out,' said Albert. The courtroom also heard from Theresa Shingoose, Ashlee's mother, and Melanie Beardy, Ashlee's sister. After the hearing, Albert told reporters outside the court that he was happy to have had their voices heard and is hopeful his daughter's remains will be found. Police believe Ashlee's remains are in the Brady Road Landfill in Winnipeg after her body was placed in a garbage bin on Henderson Highway. On Wednesday, Premier Wab Kinew confirmed workers have started excavating a section of the landfill where they plan to search for her remains later this year. 'What I want and what I need is for my daughter to be honoured, her story acknowledged, and for no other family to be left in the dark the way mine has been,' said Albert's victim impact statement.

Pitt Meadows Secondary teacher charged with child luring, child pornography offences
A high school teacher in Pitt Meadows, B.C. has been charged with multiple child exploitation-related offences, according to the B.C. Prosecution Service. Court records show 30-year-old Lovesh Ramsaha has been charged with four counts, including internet luring of a child under 18, making sexually explicit material available to a child, making child pornography and distributing it. Ramsaha had been teaching at Pitt Meadows Secondary. The prosecution service said the alleged offences occurred between August 2024 and February 2025 at or near Pitt Meadows. In a statement to CBC News, Ridge Meadows RCMP said they launched an investigation in February after receiving a complaint regarding alleged sexual offences involving a local teacher. Because the suspect was in a position of authority, police said investigators acted quickly and worked with the school district to take appropriate steps. Pitt Meadows Secondary principal Colin Sharpe informed families in a letter Friday that Ramsaha had been removed from his teaching duties "as soon as the district became aware of the allegations." CBC News has obtained a copy of that letter. "Please be assured that the safety and well-being of our students is always our highest priority," the letter said. The B.C. teacher registry shows an "undertaking not to practice" was placed on Ramsaha's file in March. Few other details have been released due to privacy reasons and pending criminal charges. CBC News has attempted to contact Ramsaha but has not heard back.
