The province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate following a recent incident in Listowel.
According to the Perth County OPP, on Sunday, November 8, officers responded to a disturbance at an address in the Town of Listowel. On Tuesday, November 10, the OPP was notified that one of the individuals had sustained an injury.
According to limited details obtained via the SIU, the incident occurred at 3 a.m. and was a "family dispute." Officers found a male and female at the front of the property upon arrival and attempted to arrest both. Police handcuffed both, and then drove the female back to her own residence. Two days later, police received word that the female went to the hospital where she was then diagnosed with a "serious injury."
Following that notification, the SIU stepped in to investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident as it involved direct police involvement. The investigation is ongoing.
