Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 25-OCI-460
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant, 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 in mid-November 2025, the subject officer and their partner, a witness officer, were on the lookout for the complainant. The complainant was wanted for a number of break and enters, and subject to an outstanding arrest warrant. The officers located the complainant at an Esso gas station in the Monkland area of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry County. The complainant was pumping gas into a Subaru Forester. The officers pulled up in their unmarked pick-up truck, such that their driver side rear quarter panel was adjacent the driver side rear quarter panel of the Forester, and exited their vehicle. The subject officer approached the complainant and advised them they were under arrest. The complainant walked around the front of their vehicle away from the subject officer and towards the driver's door. They confronted the witness officer beside the door and pushed them out of the way, attempting to enter the Forester. The witness officer pushed back against the driver's door to prevent it opening. The subject officer moved to assist the witness officer. There followed a protracted struggle in the course of which the subject officer kicked, punched, kneed and elbowed the complainant multiple times. With the assistance of three civilians on scene, the officers overcame the complainant's resistance and handcuffed them behind the back. The complainant was transported to hospital where diagnostic imaging was unable to rule out undisplaced fractures to the left fourth and fifth ribs.
