Potato cannon group s-mashed

Feb 2, 2003

WHITBY - Durham Regional Police surrounded a north Whitby residence after a report of gunshots, only to seize a "potato cannon."

Three men are charged with being a common nuisance and with possession of a dangerous weapon.

Numerous officers, the police helicopter and canine units responded to the Brock Street North address about 9:20 p.m. Thursday after a 911 call.

Four men came out of the home and were arrested, Sergeant Paul Malik said. Police seized a homemade cylinder-shaped weapon capable of firing various projectiles, he said.

Greg Ralph Sidsworth, 29, and Brian Eric McLean, 35, both of that address, and Stephen Barry Thompson, 32, of King Street West, Oshawa, were released with a court date of Feb 26. The fourth man was not charged.

In other news, the Canadian Lobbying Group "People for the Ethical Treatment of Potatoes" applauded the decision.
