Sentencing for possession of child pornography
Corey Dean Bartlett, 56, of Perth-Andover, will appear for sentencing in provincial court in custody on Jan. 21 at 1:30 p.m. after changing his plea to guilty on a charge of possession of child pornography.

Handed conditional sentence order
Sheldon Marr Brewer, 28, of Zealand, received a six-month conditional sentence with a court order to undergo treatment for addiction when he appeared in provincial court on Jan. 20. He was also fined $1,200 for a driving offence.
Marr-Brewer was charged by the RCMP with breaking into a dwelling house, resisting arrest, flight from police, and dangerous driving concerning an incident on March 12, 2024, near Cloverdale. He pleaded guilty to forcible entry at a dwelling house, driving while suspended and resisting arrest. The remaining charges were withdrawn by the Crown.
The court heard police tried to stop Marr-Brewer for driving without a licence, but he sped away and later burst into a senior’s home on foot to escape arrest. He then led police on a chase through the woods before police dogs tracked him down.
After spending a few days in jail, Marr-Brewer was released from custody with an electronic monitoring device attached to his ankle. The ankle bracelet was removed after his sentencing on Tuesday. He had a limited prior criminal record.
The Crown told the court that Marr-Brewer deserved a four-month jail sentence for his crimes. However, his defence lawyer argued he had stayed out of trouble since the incident and had been wearing the ankle bracelet for nearly two years.
