Redacted summary

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person, the subject officer and other witnesses (police and non-police), and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. In the afternoon of late 2025, the subject officer and their partner, another officer, were on the lookout for the affected person. The affected person was wanted for a number of break and enters, and subject to an outstanding arrest warrant. The officers located the affected person at a gas station in a rural area. The affected person was pumping gas into a vehicle. The officers pulled up in their unmarked vehicle, and exited. The subject officer approached the affected person and advised them they were under arrest. The affected person walked around the front of their vehicle away from the subject officer and towards the driver’s door. They confronted the other officer beside the door and pushed them out of the way, attempting to enter the vehicle. The other officer pushed back against the driver’s door to prevent it opening. The subject officer moved to assist. There followed a protracted struggle in the course of which the subject officer used force against the affected person multiple times. With the assistance of civilians on scene, the officers overcame the affected person’s resistance and handcuffed them. The affected person was transported to hospital where diagnostic imaging was unable to rule out injuries.
