Town restricts resident William Vincent from town office for one year after council reviews incidents
Summary
Council approved a one-year Notice of Restriction barring William Vincent from attending the Town office in person and requiring communication by phone or email after reviewing an email from Vincent, staff statements concerning incidents on March 30 and April 2, 2026, and video surveillance.
Following an in-camera review, the Town of St. George’s council voted on April 14 to issue a Notice of Restriction preventing William Vincent from attending the Town office at 195 Main Street in person for one year.
The motion (Motion #27/26, moved by Deputy Mayor Bernie Mason and seconded by Councillor John Pittman) directs that all communication with the Town must be conducted through email or phone and states the restriction is for a period of one year, “until further notice,” at which time it will be reviewed. The motion carried unanimously (7-0).
The minutes record that council reviewed an email from William Vincent and heard statements from the Town Manager, Danny Conway, and the Town Clerk, Jennifer Hobbs, regarding incidents occurring on March 30 and April 2, 2026. The minutes further state that video surveillance was viewed by council in relation to those incidents. The motion’s stated purpose is to ensure a safe and respectful workplace for employees and a safe environment for the public.
The minutes do not provide verbatim statements from staff, specifics about the incidents beyond the dates, nor any appeal process for the restricted individual. The council did not record a timeline for review beyond the one-year period; the motion says the restriction will be reviewed after that period.
