Mayor Surprised About New Colonel Charges

The mayor of Quinte West says area residents would likely be surprised at the number of new charges laid against Colonel Russell Williams.

John Williams says he spoke recently to someone from Tweed, who knows another person who didn’t even realize at first their home had been broken into.

Williams — who is not related to the former C-F-B Trenton commander — says there’s comfort in the fact the alleged perpetrator is behind bars.

He adds that he can’t understand how somebody would have time to commit so many break-and-enters and still be able to perform their job.
