SIOUX LOOKOUT — An officer with the Ontario Provincial Police faces a charge of assault as a result of an incident in Sioux Lookout earlier this year.
The Special Investigations Unit announced Tuesday that Cst. Michael Berger will appear in court next month in connection with an occurrence that left a man seriously injured on Jan. 31.
It said the 50-year-old sustained the injury while being arrested but provided no other details.
The charge against the officer has not been tested in court.
The SIU is an independent government agency that investigates the conduct of police that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
