Peel police say they arrested and charged a former union branch representative for allegedly misappropriating more than $100,000 in union funds. Mark Babcook, the former branch president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) Local 228, was charged with fraud over $5000 and possession of property obtained by crime, police said in a news release Wednesday. Babcook, 41, was arrested on Sept. 19. The arrest came after OPSEU conducted its own internal investigation and contacted Peel Regional Police with evidence that led to a criminal investigation, police said.
