Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 25-OCI-487
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant's police custodians, gives rise to the following scenario. As was their legal right, the subject officers did not agree to an interview with the SIU or the release of their notes. In the afternoon in late November 2025, the complainant was arrested in connection with a stolen automobile. They were searched at the scene and transported to the LPS headquarters where they were lodged in a cell at approximately 5:45 p.m. The complainant told police that they had consumed heroin a couple of hours before the arrest and explained they would become sick in the cell once the effects of the drug wore off. The complainant was monitored by special constables while in cells. They appeared to sleep for most of the time in custody. At approximately 7:40 a.m., the complainant had just woken when they started to vomit. They were removed from the cell and transported to hospital. The complainant was treated for opioid withdrawal.
