Ottawa police were preparing to execute a search warrant Saturday morning at the home of an Orléans human resources consultant after a man with the same name was reportedly charged with attempted murder in connection with the robbery this week of a 101-year-old veteran.

The suspect made his first court appearance by video link early Saturday morning on the charges. CBC, citing “court documents,” identified the man as Ian Bush.

Police would not confirm the name of the man charged but in a press release said they had arrested a 59-year-old man on Friday and charged him with attempted murder, robbery with violence, forcible confinement, break and enter and two counts of using a credit card obtained by crime.

Later Saturday, a police cruiser was parked outside the Valade Crescent home of consultant Ian Bush and his wife, Carrie Mortson, who works in a seniors’ home.

Bush uses the same address for his company, Bush and Associates Consulting.

He has three adult children and recently became a grandfather for the first time.

“He seems friendly and nice,” said neighbour Ron Snow.

Reached at his home in Dryden, Ont., Bush’s brother Norm said he had heard nothing about any charges being laid.

“I wouldn’t have associated him with anything like that,” he said.

Bush’s mother-in-law, Iva Mortson, said she thought Bush was about 59 years old. She hadn’t heard anything from her daughter about an arrest, either.

“He’s a very sweet man,” she said.

Police say a man broke into the New Edinburgh apartment of Ernest Côté, retired colonel and Second World War veteran, on Thursday morning after pretending to be a City of Ottawa employee. The man placed a plastic bag over Côté’s head and robbed him. Côté was able to free himself and call 911.


Police released an image from the building’s security cameras. After, they received a tip that led to the arrest.

The man in the security camera image bears a strong likeness to the picture associated with Bush’s social media profiles.

On Twitter, Bush’s profile says he is involved with “People Productivity Solutions: it’s about delivering long lasting results that improve your organisation’s effectiveness.”

He often tweets about politics and posted a message as recently as 2:54 p.m. on Friday.

Brian Robinson worked with Bush for about 15 years in the human resources office at paper company Domtar in Cornwall, Ont.. Robinson said he had given a seminar on human resources training with him about five years ago.

“He seemed to be doing quite well with his consulting business,” said Robinson, who also ran a consulting firm.
