Peterborough police chief Stuart Betts says a charge against a clerk who struck a robbery suspect with the latter's own baseball bat is based on evidence, not politics or race.
Peterborough’s police chief is standing up for his officers in the face of social media backlash after a store clerk was charged with assaulting an alleged robber armed with a baseball bat last week.
Police chief Stuart Betts stated officers attempting to stop a vehicle 'were deliberately rammed' by the driver of a fleeing pickup truck along Water Street on Sunday evening.
