8- The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday January 9, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Police call abduction report a hoax LHIN seeks input on services Three charged following investigation into 911 call Various charges have been laid after police determined that a reported weekend abduction didn't actually occur. Just after 6:30 p.m. Saturday, a 911 call was placed to the OPP reporting that two vehicles forced another vehicle off Hwy. 401 in the eastbound lanes at the Hwy. 407 westbound ramp. Police were told a man was forced out of his white Honda Civic and taken from the scene in one of the other vehicles. Halton police investigators were called a short time later and took over the investigation. But police say their investigation revealed there was no abduction. Police report a vehicle being driven by a man -- with a female passenger -- was forced off the road into a ditch by two men known to the driver in two separate cars. Police allege the incident involved a dispute over payment from a drug deal. "There were no injuries. It was more a case of intimidation," said Acting Det. Sgt. Jeff Dunham. Police allege the initial 911 call reporting an abduction was made by the man who was forced off the road. Benjamin Bauer, 25, of Milton has been charged with obstructing police, public mischief and possession of a controlled substance. Matthew Kettle, 23, of Oakville, has been charged with assault with a weapon (a vehicle), dangerous driving, carrying a weapon and uttering threats. Brendan Coulombe, 25, of Oakville has been charged with assault with a weapon (a vehicle) and dangerous driving. All three have been released from custody and are scheduled to appear at Milton court in February. The Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is seeking public input to get an idea of what practices are working, what practices are not and what practices could be improved. A Mental Health and Addictions Detailed Planning and Action Team (DPA) is circulating a survey as well as planning community events in an effort to obtain community feedback from current and past service users, clients, family members, service providers, health and allied service users and community members who may have unsuccessfully tried to access services. The survey can be accessed via the Mississauga Halton LHIN website (www.mississaugahaltonlhin.on.ca) and through the mental health service providers of the LHIN. The survey is completely voluntary and all information collected will be kept strictly confidential and anonymous. The Mental Health and Addictions DPA has also planned two community events for the New Year. One is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 14 from 7-9 p.m. at the Halton Regional Police Station (Community Room), which is located at 490 Child's Dr. in Milton. The second community event will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 16 from 7-9 p.m. at the Acorn Place (Meeting Room), which is located at 100 Acorn Ave. in Mississauga. These events will provide an opportunity for those interested to meet members of the LHIN Mental Health and Addictions DPA team and provide feedback and suggestions regarding service delivery. The Mississauga Halton LHIN considers ongoing feedback from the community to be an integral part of developing an integrated service delivery plan and is encouraging anyone with an interest to come forward and participate.
