Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit says there’s no charges warranted in connection to an apprehension in Peterborough last fall.
On October 5th, 2020, Peterborough Police were called to a bus terminal parking garage about a woman lying on the ramp. Police determined she was of unsound mind and apprehended her under the Mental Health Act.
It’s reported she resisted and paramedics brought her to hospital, where she was diagnosed with a broken right arm.
Director of the Special Investigations Unit Joseph Martino says there are no reasonable grounds to believe that an officer committed a criminal offence in connection with the woman’s arrest and injury.
TORONTO Ontario’s police watchdog has cleared three Toronto cops of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with a shooting incident at a Scarborough apartment building last year that left a man seriously injured. “They were there in response to an emergency 911 call to police from a resident on the fourth-floor reporting that the complainant was mentally unwell, armed with a knife and attempting to enter her apartment,” the Director of the Special Investigations Unit Joseph Martino said. “The first and perhaps most important piece of evidence is the cleaver that the complainant was holding.” According to the SIU, the injured man, referred to as the complainant in its report released on Wednesday, was wielding an entirely metal blade measuring about 18 centrimetres long by eight centimetres wide when officers from the Toronto Police Service’s 43 Division arrived at the scene.
