Lock him up and throw the key away. Do the right for grace family
A thief and a coward who will probably get to serve his time inprotective custody if he’s not lucky enough to be deemed mentally unfit.to stand up for himself.
This is so tragic.. May the GRACE of God take over this and provide some form of comfort for those directly impacted by the loss of life here…
Hopefully this individual has a conscience and will have to live with the pain of killing someone. God bless the family of Grace and may they know her soul and legacy will never leave!
Thanks to the Guelph police and citizens for apprehending the driver who ended the young lady’s life just when she was starting a new life after graduating. I hope he is severely punished and not given a token sentence.
Congratulations to Guelph Police a Services. A horrible crime to commit to such an aspiring young girl. I hope suitable justice is served and my heartfelt sympathy to her family
Sorry to hear about this tragedy, glad they were caught… BUT this appeared on my Facebook feed and as an outsider who hasn’t heard of this, with the headline and image, it appeared as if the girl pictured was the one arrested… maybe caption that image or something?
I am so sad for this family. What the boy who is responsible for this may not realize yet but this will forever affect his family too. I am happy the police caught him. I hope both families find peace somewhere in this tragedy. Thank you Guelph Police for doing a hard but great job. Stay safe.
Poor choices have far reaching impact. How many lives have been altered forever due to one tragically foolish act
Thank the good Lord he was caught. We don’t need cowards like that running loose on our streets. Thank you to the Guelph Police. Job well done.
Good job to the guelph police. Now let’s hope our rediculous court system doesn’t screw this uo and let him walk free.
Great work. Sounds like a flight risk so should not be allowed bail.
Good swift arrest. Sounds like
a flight risk and should be denied bail.
Should be charged with Murder
Sadly it doesn’t work that way.
That being said, the charge of Flight From Police Causing Death is punishable with a term of life:

Yes I agree, should be charged with Murder, no excuses for him. And no defence should touch this case…..
what a tragic thing to happen to this young lady. good work #GuelphPolice. Thank you for your diligent and hard work in apprehending this reckless jerk!
The police are simply amazing at what they do. May justice be served to the person or persons involved that killed an innocent individual.
Agreed that the police do a good job but the justice system doesn’t this girls family will suffer forever but this pathetic excuse for a human will only suffer for a short period of time behind bars😡
They use the words “breach of probation”…if this thug had gotten more than a slap on the wrist the first time around the poor girl that got killed would be still around today….you are right our justice system sucks…not the fault of the police…great job finding him…
