The Ottawa police investigation of a kid’s wagon filled with jerry cans to fuel the convoy protest has fizzled in court after the accused was acquitted on all charges of mischief and police obstruction.
Const. Jonathan Kenney was dispatched to investigate the little red wagon around 11 a.m. on the same day. The Ottawa police officer was responding to the call in a rented minivan because the city police department didn’t have any available cruisers.
When Kenney testified at trial, he initially said he saw jerry cans on a kid’s wagon near Remley’s truck, but couldn’t say exactly where. He later testified the little red wagon was about 10 feet away from the accused’s truck. Kenney also told court that Remley never incited the crowd or interacted with them in any way. Still, the officer asked for Remley’s driver’s licence. He told court he had to abandon his investigation because they were outnumbered by people who he said didn’t appear to be leaving any time soon.He didn’t want to be a “powder keg” so he retreated and told Remley that he would face mischief charges down the road.
The officer told court that he never gave Remley the right to counsel and never ordered him to leave, but rather asked him to consider leaving.
