Video captured Const. David Tucker drawing his gun on a woman and arresting her in July 2023
A Kamloops RCMP officer who was filmed drawing his gun on a woman and arresting her for what he said was obstruction of justice has been charged with assault and mischief in connection with the incident. Close to a year earlier, on July 31, 2023, Tucker was captured on video confronting a woman who he claimed had obstructed him from arresting another man. That man is seen handcuffed on the ground in the Kamloops City Hall parking lot.
Tucker then drops the woman to the ground, accidentally flinging his handcuffs to the side in the process. He drags the woman several feet with her hands behind her back to retrieve the cuffs and places them on her wrists. Kamloops RCMP released a statement on Aug. 4, 2023 saying that Tucker arrested the man around 6:30 p.m. after observing him yelling and swearing at the woman.
