A man from the Quinte Region is wanted by a private investigator and other Greater Toronto Area police services, for allegedly making death threats, criminal harassment and impeding the performance of justice duties.
The Pickering-based Investigative Services Network is offering a $10,000 reward for information on the whereabouts of 57-year-old Gerald (Guy) Brummell, who the group says has been harassing one of its investigators, as well as the family of one of its clients, the Staikos family.
ISN began working for the Staikos family following the 2018 murder of Matthew Staikos in Toronto, which has yet to be solved.
In a report in the Toronto Sun, ISN investigator Dave Perry calls Brummell an “unemployed conspiracy theorist who has a significant history of harassment and threatening behaviour towards anybody he disagrees with” and “a habitual harasser and cyber-stalker”, with a long history of harassing OPP officers and their family members.
That report also notes that Brummell is wanted by Durham Regional Police on harassment allegations and by Toronto Police for allegedly threatening a pair of judges.
Among his local dealings Brummell had a failed lawsuit in 2012, where he sued the Crown and 30 OPP officers for $100 million, alleging he was framed as part of an investigation that saw him do jail time back in 2006.
He also attempted to sue two editors at the Belleville Intelligencer for $1.2 million in 2011, which was settled.
