A mischief case against one of the accused co-organizers of the Ambassador Bridge blockade in 2022 that halted traffic between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit has been withdrawn by the Crown.
Windsor police had charged Nycole Dicredico and William Laframboise with mischief, alleging they were leaders and organizers of the protests against pandemic mandates.
On Tuesday, the Ontario Court of Justice confirmed the charge against Dicredico was withdrawn, which was first reported by the Windsor Star.
Hundreds of RCMP, provincial and Windsor police and surrounding authorities cleared the blockade following a court injunction ahead of the federal government invoking the Emergencies Act.
The Democracy Fund is a charity that defends constitutional rights and has represented people charged by police for their alleged roles in the blockade.
Shortly after Dicredico was charged, Windsor police’s then acting superintendent of investigations, Karel DeGraaf, told CBC News that it was the result of five months of case work and “a tremendous amount of effort.”
