Charges have been laid following a church service in Dresden this past weekend.
Police were called to the Old Colony Mennonite Church on Grove Mills Line Sunday morning, where officers found 56 cars in the parking lot, and more than 70 people were seen leaving the building, none of whom were wearing masks.
A 38-year-old Dresden man has now been charged with failing to comply with the provincial stay-at-home order under the Reopening Ontario Act. He’ll be in court on June 16th.
Chatham-Kent Police say an investigation into a gathering at the Wheatley church this past Sunday remains under investigation.
Charges were laid against a member of the Old Colony Mennonite Church in Wheatley last month and twice back in December for breaking provincial COVID restrictions.
