The director of Ontario’s Particular Investigations Unit has charged a Thunder Bay Police officer with a legal offence in reference to an incident on June 30, 2023.
In a information launch Tuesday night, SIU director Joseph Martino stated he had “reasonable grounds” to put charges within the incident, which left a 30-year-old man with “serious injuries.”
“As a result of the SIU investigation, Const. Marshall Moore is charged with one count of assault causing bodily harm,” the SIU stated.
Moore will seem earlier than the Ontario Courtroom of Justice in Thunder Bay on Aug. 16 at 9 a.m.
“As the matter is before the courts, and in consideration of the fair trial interests of the accused, the SIU will not provide further comment on the investigation,” the discharge stated.
The SIU is an impartial authorities company that investigates when somebody is injured or assaulted when involved with police.
All investigations are carried out by SIU investigators who’re civilians. Below the Particular Investigations Unit Act, the director of the SIU should make the outcomes of investigations public.
