Suspect charged with attempted murder following stabbing in Hawkesbury, Ont.

A 25-year-old Champlain Township resident is facing a charge of attempted murder in connection to a stabbing in Hawkesbury, Ont. An Ontario Provincial Police officer was flagged down outside a residence on Main Street East in Hawkesbury at approximately 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Police say the officer learned a 39-year-old man had been assaulted in the nearby Pioneer' Place park area and had suffered stab wounds.

The male was later transferred to a regional trauma centre for treatment of serious injuries.' Police say a suspect was arrested in the area without further incident. Alexandre Piette-Racine, 25, of Champlain Township has been charged with attempted murder. The accused is scheduled to appear in court in L'Orignal on Friday.

Jennifer McCarron named interim chief of Charlottetown Police Services

Charlottetown's police force will soon be under new leadership. Deputy Chief Jennifer McCarron has been appointed interim chief of police, making her the first woman to lead the department in its history, the city said in a news release Friday. Her appointment was made by current Chief Brad MacConnell, who will step down from the role to become Charlottetown's Chief Administrative Officer on June 16, the same day McCarron officially takes over. McCarron has been with the department for more than 30 years and has served as the city's deputy police chief since April 2021. In her current role, she oversees major crime, street crime, bylaw, property and identification units, the release said. "It's an honour to step into this role during this time of change," McCarron was quoted as saying in the release. "I'm committed to providing steady leadership, supporting our dedicated officers and staff, and continuing to serve the community." The city said it will launch a competition for a permanent police chief in the coming weeks.
