A veteran Halton police officer is facing a fraud charge over his alleged involvement in an investment scheme, Ontario Provincial Police announced Monday.
In a news release, the OPP said its investigation began in February 2023 following multiple complaints.
As a result, Sgt. Jon Williams – an 18-year member of the police force – has been charged with one count of fraud over $5,000.
Two civilians were also charged with fraud over $5,000. Douglas Grozelle, 49, and Crystal Masterson, 40, both of Burlington, are also scheduled to appear in court.
Williams is currently suspended from duty with pay.
Correction
A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that police had not identified the other suspects charged in this case.
