Man was injured while being arrested on outstanding warrants and alleged officers sexually assaulted him
Greater Sudbury Police Service officers have been cleared by the Special Investigations Unit for an arrest they made back in October 2022.
The SIU investigation found that the complainant in the SIU case, a 23-year-old man wanted on numerous warrants, was the passenger in the vehicle. Initially, SIU said the man gave officers a fake name to avoid arrest, but they were soon able to determine who the man really was and attempted to place him under arrest.
Taken to police headquarters, the man was placed in a cell pending an appearance in court the next morning. After the search was concluded, the report states the man admitted to consuming a quantity of fentanyl so paramedics were called and the man was transported to hospital for further examination and a computerized tomography scan.
The investigation determined “the officers involved in the Complainant’s arrest were within their rights in seeking to take the Complainant into custody. The Complainant was subject to two arrest warrants at the time for violations of probation orders and other offences.”
