NEW HAZELTON, B.C. — A Mountie in northwestern British Columbia has been charged with assault causing bodily harm.
The charge follows something that happened at the New Hazelton detachment on Sept. 4.
Const. Eric Andrew Unrau was on duty at the time.
He is to appear in court on March 22.
No further details about the alleged assault were released.
The police service says that over the next 4 1/2 hours, there were another 78 unfounded calls, many claiming someone was in distress, and using fictitious names and addresses.
On December 29th at approximately 7:20 am Surrey RCMP responded to a collision involving a pedestrian and an Acura CSX sedan at the intersection of 152 Street and 68 Avenue.
The health authority filed its response to the statement of claim in B.C. Supreme Court in early December.
He said Handlen had no need to continue working for a supposed crime group set up in a RCMP sting operation because he had lots of work as a handyman.
The woman's three-year-old child remains in hospital in stable condition and is expected to be released early next week.
Officers in Surrey, B.C., are investigating what appears to be the latest, targeted drive-by shooting.
