The Truro Police Service have announced they have arrested Jason Ehler (past Nighttime guest and father of missing Dylan Ehler) in a fraud investigation involving three local financial institutions.

In late November, a local bank reported that fraudulent activity had occurred on the account of a deceased customer.

The Truro Police Service Criminal Investigation Division investigated this complaint, gathered evidence, and executed several production orders that revealed that the fraud had occurred at three local banks.

Jason Ehler was arrested Jan 11, 2022 and charged with 11 counts of fraud, 11 counts of forgery, and 11 counts of false pretences with a court date of March 2, 2022.

This investigation remains ongoing and Truro police claim further charges are anticipated.

Court information shows Ehler is accused of falsifying cheques written from a Melanie MacCormick to himself for various amounts ranging from $100 to $400 each. He is accused of cashing in and defrauding the TD Bank, Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Montreal in Truro, on occasions from Nov. 15 to 23, 2021.

Update 3 - Jason Ehler (or affiliate) issues takedown request

In a not completely surprising update someone writing from a Jason Ehler named Facebook account requested this post be removed. After the release of a prior Nighttime episode, which included an interview with Dorothy Parsons, a similar message was sent that also ended with “you’ll hear from my lawyer”.

Update 4 - March 2nd Court Appearance

Jason’s lawyer made a court appearance on his behalf requesting a postponement of his hearing until a later date. The request was approved and the case will now be heard on April 6th at 930am.

Additional information related to the charges against Mr. Ehler will shared during this hearing.
