Siu

 

A North Bay Police officer is facing a assault causing bodily harm charge in relation to an incident that occurred in 2014.

The charge follows an investigation by the Special Investigations Unit.

A release says the director of the SIU has reasonable grounds to believe the officer committed the criminal offense of assault causing bodily harm.

The SIU says after midnight at a North Bay establishment there was an altercation between several patrons.

The report says the officer intervened and a 40 year old was allegedly assaulted.

Constable Christian Elia has a July 5th court date.
