HALIFAX — A federal fisheries officer has been suspended for 10 days without pay for his role in arresting two Mi'kmaq elver fishers late at night and releasing them in only their socked feet.
They said three fisheries officers confiscated their phones and hip waders before leaving them at a gas station about a 45-minute drive from where they had been fishing. The Canadian Press verified the penalty imposed on one officer but was unable to confirm what sanctions were imposed on the two more junior fishery officers.
