Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 25-PCI-490
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant and other witnesses (police and non-police), and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. As was their legal right, the subject officer chose not to interview with the SIU or authorize the release of their notes. In the early morning of Q4 2025, OPP officers, including the subject officer, attended at a campsite in Oastler Lake Provincial Park. A park warden had contacted police for their assistance. A short period prior, the park warden, at the campsite in connection with a noise complaint, had witnessed one of the campers — the complainant — slap another individual in the face. The subject officer and a witness officer took custody of the complainant and handcuffed them behind the back without incident. The complainant was searched and placed in the rear of the subject officer's cruiser for transportation to the Parry Sound Detachment. At the detachment, the complainant was lodged in a cell at approximately 1:00 a.m., and held there until their release from custody later that morning at approximately 8:50 a.m. The complainant returned to the park in violation of a no-contact condition of their release from custody. They subsequently attended hospital that same day and were diagnosed with two broken right-sided ribs.
