ADMITTED FACTS
SPENCE was at the No Frills on Edward Street in Northwood on March 21,2020 stealing a blender and soap valued at $37.22. A security guard tried stopping her and minor altercation ensued. SPENCE ran into the adjacent Dollarama. TBPS arrived to arrest and charge her. She was released.
On April 6,2020 a real Concerned Citizen flagged down hardworking TBPS Constable Sean Sherrock on Memorial Avenue to report an incident that just occurred at Shoppers Drug Mart.
KRYSTAL SPENCE, a known thief at Shoppers was approached by a Manager while stealing makeup. She was asked what she was doing there. SPENCE replied “I’m stealing this and there’s nothing you can do about it”. SPENCE stole $45 worth of makeup including eyeshadow and mascara.
Hardworking Officer Sherrock quickly tracked down SPENCE and made the arrest. She has been in custody ever since.
CRIMINAL RECORD
SPENCE has a 2 page criminal record for thefts, robbery, assaults & breaches. See link below of SPENCE spitting on security guard. She is banned from Victoriaville.
SENTENCE
Her lawyer David Young and the Crown Attorney have a joint recommendation for time served. SPENCE has a total presentence custody of 25 days which is enhanced to 38 days. She will be released today to go live with her mother in the 1000 block of Heron Street.
SPENCE also receives more probation and is banned from all No Frills & Shoppers Drug Marts in Thunder Bay.
His Honour Valente has concerns with the temerity exhibited by SPENCE during the Shoppers Drug Mart theft.
SPENCE was last spotted by an Inside Edition source on February 24,2020 trying to sell unrefrigerated raw chicken and prescription drugs in front of City Councllor Aldo Ruberto’s building by Victoriaville. Sources indicate that SPENCE is a proud supporter of Aldo Ruberto & Shelby Ch’ng.
Asked if she has anything to say, SPENCE tells the court “I’m looking forward to a new beginning”
As per usual practice, the Director Of Communications at TBPS has never notified the public of any crimes committed by KRYSTAL SPENCE. and he’s certainly not interested in promoting the good work done by frontline officers. Never pay a former ad salesman from TBLAZYWATCH over $135 000 taxpayer dollars annually to be a Director of Communications for a police department.
