During cross-examination of Const. Andrew Bulmer in a Kenora courtroom Tuesday, Bruce Montague’s lawyer Doug Christie attacked the credibility of an OPP search of a hidden room in Montague’s home.
Bulmer said he and another officer counted $405 American and $2,105 Canadian dollars, money recovered from the room. Christie suggested there was well over $3,000 and presented a photo showing a sum of money in a large paper clip, with more money wrapped in a piece of paper beneath it.
“That ($2,105) is not what is depicted in those photos and you must have known that,” Christie said.
“No sir, I can only refer to the money I counted,” Bulmer replied.
During re-examination by Crown attorney Peter Keen, Bulmer said he hadn’t taken any money out of the room.
Christie continued to press the issue of the search when he cross examined Const. Randy Belluz, the arresting officer and member of the Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit.
Belluz was the officer who recovered the guns from the room, unloading them, if necessary, before passing them along to another officer, Bulmer, who made them safe and handed them to a third officer, who applied identification numbers and tags. Belluz said Montague told him there was nearly $1,500 in the room, which belonged to his son and asked him to leave it there. Belluz relayed the message, but couldn’t recall if he said it should be left in the room.
Christie also pressed him on the arrest, which occurred at a gun show in Dryden in 2004.
