watchdog says police shouldn’t be charged

Manitoba’s police watchdog isn’t recommending charges against a Winnipeg officer involved in a May 5 arrest in which a suspect allegedly suffered an elbow injury.

The Independent Investigation Unit said there are no reasonable grounds to lay charges after police used force on a man who refused to drop a weapon near Pembina Highway and Bishop Grandin Boulevard.

The watchdog interviewed the suspect and reviewed police notes, reports and audio recordings, but found neither witnesses nor video of the incident during its probe.
