An incident last June has resulted in a charge against a Port McNeill RCMP officer.
The BC Prosecution Service said Monday it has approved one count of assault under Section 266 of the Criminal Code of Canada against a member of the RCMP in relation to an incident in the community on June 21, 2025.
The prosecution service said the charge was approved by an experienced Crown counsel with no connection to the accused.
An information charging the officer was sworn May 4. The first court appearance is scheduled for June 2 at the Port Hardy Law Courts.
Because the matter is now before the courts, the prosecution service said it will not release additional information.
