Theft under $5,000 - Andy Bouchard

Below is one of two charges of theft under $5,000 Andy Bouchard charged with on Sunday, a.m., January 30, 2006, when he barged in his father's home in Elie, with a spare key, and in a rage at being exposed by oldest sister  from Calgary  (who had been tipped off by youngest  sister in Winnipeg) for plotting to remove his father Lionel Bouchard of Elie (who had a life estate agreement with Andy for the rest of his days) and with assistance of his sisters thru the guise of  family banquet at the Holiday Inn, on Morey Street, in  Winnipeg, stole both his father  Lionel Bouchard and  sister's cellular phones.  Lionel Bouchard had posted a "revocation of power of attorney" on the outside of his door as Andy Bouchard had refused service the day before at his father's home.

Andy immediately breached the No Contact by sending over his wife and sisters to the house the next day had them bring over a "pre-signed agreement dated January 30,  2006, to manipulate his father in dropping charges against him.

RCMP records indicate on their records that Andy Bouchard breached the order ~ no action was taken against him sending him a message that he could continue his disregard for the law as in the past!

Andy breached the "No Contact" in sending his sisters to negotiate an agreement to allow his father to remain in his home, in exchange for his sister and his father dropping the two theft charges of each of their cellular telephones.      (Click here.)  Agreement

Andy Bouchard, upon discovering his power of attorney posted outside his father's  door that Sunday morning had been revoked, along with his oldest sister from Calgary on the  telephone warning both her father and sister in Elie that her brother Andy Bouchard had set up an "ambush" at the Holiday Inn in order to get all his siblings to gang up against their father and evict him from his home of over fifty years, enraged  STOLE both his father and sister's cellular telephones leaving
 both stranded in middle of winter without leaving them any form of communication whatsoever seeing as Lionel Bouchard had no land line.

Fed up with Andy Bouchard's antics to pressure their father to move, which commenced immediately upon Lionel's discharge from the Grace Hospital on January 27, 2006, three days  prior, whereby Andy had come over to his father's house on Friday night removing his  father's van on the pretense of servicing it in Portage La Prairie. 

On Saturday, Andy Bouchard had gone to the St. Eustache Manor to ensure his father's room was still available whereby Lionel had already called and faxed Manitoba Housing in Portage to cancel, this along with Andy's refusal to bring in a proper fridge for his father at the house,  Lionel Bouchard and his sister of B.C. were left with no other alternative to protect Lionel Bouchard but to press theft charges against Andy Bouchard at the RCMP detachment in Headingley when left without any means of communication, as Lionel had no landline in   the house and at the same time obtained "No Contact"orders against Andy Bouchard.

The revocation of power of attorney had been posted on the outside of Lionel Bouchard's   door that Sunday morning, after Andy having refused the document the day prior.

Andy Bouchard was arrested at the Holiday Inn.  The stolen cellulars and other       binder containing a new power of attorney in favour of Claire Demery, as well as psychiatric living will, were in Andy Bouchard's possession when arrested.

Andy Bouchard was charged with two counts of theft against his father and sister and two "No Contacts" were immediately put in place against Andy Bouchard. Having no regard for the law, Andy immediately violated that afternoon upon sending his wife and sisters Lynda Staub and Claire Demery to the home in Elie, he himself outside in his truck in the yard in company of the RCMP, breaching the No Contact orders by dropping off his wife (indirect contact) who screamed  obscenities at  his sister.  Lynda Staub already having put her sister's luggage outside in the snow bank having locked the front door of her father's house!

On Sunday, Andy Bouchard, after being charged with two counts of theft, immediately faxed title to the property concealing the fact that his father having a "Right of Occupancy"  agreement which Andy Bouchard had maliciously and deliberately omitted registering   on title in 2002 despite its existence.                                                     (Click here.)

Using this legal technicality, Andy violated his father's rights as a "tenant" under the Life Estate Act, to have his sister from B.C. ~ his temporary caregiver at the time, removed from the property.

Andy Bouchard then installed Lynda Staub, who missed work the following day, as caregiver that night, forcing his sister from B.C. to take a motel room in Winnipeg for the  night. 
        
Arrangements were then made by Andy Bouchard to have Susie Waldner look after their father the following days Susan Waldner called Andy Bouchard.  After waiting the day, cancelling her commitment to work, Andy did not show to pick her up fearing she would support Lionel - her ex-fiancée.
​
Lynda Staub missed work on Monday January  30, 2006, to  replace her sister's care giving for her father!

The next day, Lynda Staub began an agressive telephone campaign on behalf of Andy to lure
sister to the property to sign an agreement allowing their father to remain on the property in exchange for  dropping the both dropping theft charges against Andy Bouchard.  Lynda Staub took it upon herself to call the RCMP to warn them in advance the charges would be dropped by 4:00 p.m when no agreement had yet been arrived to meet at 5L00 p.m.!
        
Immediately after signing this agreement around 5:00 p.m., in the presence of Claire Demery and her father, Lynda Staub immediately ordered her sister to leave their father's home so as not to provide home care that night as arranged at the hospital!

Immediately recognizing that her siblings had NOT been dealing in good faith, and had no intentions of honouring this agreement, sister boarded a plane at 7:00 p.m. - two hours later for B.C. to regroup fearing that her father would be moved immediately from his home against his wishes.

The next morning at 8:30 a.m., Andy Bouchard drove his father in to remove the "theft charge" and "No Contact" order against him, and in so doing breached the No Contact Order against him.

Second theft charges stayed!  Appears no penalty for  stealing from "family members" as Crown Tim Owen deemed Andy's actions of theft simply a "family dispute"???  Yet Crown McDuff upheld the other "family dispute alleged charges of assaults,  attempted kidnap, stayed after holding sister in remand for nearly four months and forced to undergo an assessment based on fabricated documents by Andy Bouchard to the Court!
