Men Charged With Kidnapping And Assault

Two men have been charged, and two others remain at large, after an alleged kidnapping in Nipigon.

Provincial police say they were called last Monday about a man abducted, forcibly confined, and assaulted with a gun. Police add he escaped, and was taken to hospital with significant injuries.

29-year old Andrew Otway of Thunder Bay, and 32-year old Billy John Thompson of Nipigon are both charged, and remain in custody.

Police add they remain in the community for their investigation, and that’s all the detail they have provided.

  • Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
