Dangerous weapons charges? Stern warning letter. This was in 2004. The offender in question, Andre Telesford of Trinidad and Tobago, chose to drive in an illegal street race in Hamilton two years later. As he sped through an intersection, he hit a pedestrian who was crossing the street after watching a hockey game with his friends. The 21-year-old victim, Matthew Power, was torn in half. Telesford was supposed to be deported in 2010, but immigration authorities, with the ministry’s support, called it off in 2011. Deportation proceedings were resumed in 2014, but it’s unclear whether it was actually carried out.
