Manitoba’s police watchdog has authorized charges against a Winkler Police Service officer after an alleged incident near Riding Mountain National Park.
On Sept. 11, Wasagaming RCMP responded to a residence in Ditch Lake, near Onanole, where an assault allegedly happened. The complainant was transported to the Minnedosa hospital for treatment, according to the IIU, and the off-duty police officer was determined to be a suspect.
“The civilian director is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe a criminal offence occurred and has authorized charges of assault cause bodily harm and utter threats,” a Wednesday press release from the IIU reads.
The officer is scheduled to appear in Minnedosa provincial court on Dec. 7.
The IIU is asking for anyone who helped the injured man at a residence in Ditch Lake to contact the IIU toll-free at 1-844-667-6060.
The case is now before the courts and no other details were released on Wednesday.
