Résumé caviardé
The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant and the subject officer, and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. In the late afternoon in early December 2025, Hamilton Police Service (HPS) officers were dispatched to an address in the area of Wentworth Street and Main Street East, Hamilton, following a call to police about domestic abuse. A witness reported that the complainant had threatened her earlier in the day and attended at her apartment where he caused a domestic disturbance. The subject officer, in the company of a witness officer, arrived at the address. They were aware that there were warrants in effect for the complainant's arrest on firearm-related charges. A friend of the first witness spoke with the officers and indicated that the complainant was possibly at the rear of the residence. The subject officer walked to the east side of the house and located the complainant sitting in a chair. They directed the complainant not to move, told them to stand up, and then grabbed their right arm, lifting them from the chair. The complainant immediately began to resist the officer. The two exchanged punches to the head before falling to the ground where the struggle continued. The subject officer called out for assistance, and the witness officer appeared quickly and joined in the struggle. The complainant flailed their legs and refused to release their arms to be handcuffed. The subject officer and the witness officer punched the complainant multiple times but could not sufficiently subdue them to take control of their arms behind the back. A second witness officer arrived on scene approximately two minutes after the altercation started and assisted in eventually handcuffing the complainant. The complainant was transported to hospital after their arrest and diagnosed with a broken nose and a fractured right orbital bone.
