An investigation into an RCMP officer has resulted in charges.
The independent Investigation Unit (IIU) of Manitoba has concluded its investigation into an allegation of unsafe storage of a firearm by an on-duty RCMP officer.
According to reports the officer improperly stored his service pistol on August 15, 2017 and that he left the unsecured weapon in a northern Manitoba hotel following checkout.
After a lengthy investigation Zane Tessler, the civilian director of the IIU has determined that there are reasonable and probable grounds to believe a criminal offence occurred.
On December 15, Constable Geremy Newbury was informed of the charge of careless storage of a firearm and was served with a summons to appear at Provincial Court in Flin Flon on February 1, 2018.
