Rhonda McMeo
Rhonda McMeo, Mark Ahyee, her common-law husband, and her neighbour Kurt Cudjoe were charged under the Anti-Gang Act. All three accused pleaded not guilty but was denied bail since there were previous drug possession charges amongst them. They were also out on bail for the charges while committing the current offence of being in a gang. McMeo is also the mother to two other children.
Under the Anti-Gang Act, if convicted, the accused can face up to 10 years in jail. The matter was adjourned to September 11. At the hearing, the matter of bail for the accused will be considered.
