A charge of mischief has been dropped against a man accused of being one of the leaders of the protest that blocked Windsor’s Ambassador Bridge in February 2022.

The Democracy Fund, which represented William Laframboise in the Ontario Court of Justice, said in a news release that the charge was withdrawn during a court appearance on March 6.
