Manitoba Mountie charged with assault of woman in The Pas
A Manitoba RCMP officer has been charged after a woman complained she was assaulted during a domestic call last year.
Police were called to a home in The Pas on Sept. 29, 2023, after receiving reports of a dispute between two women.
The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba said at the time the officers took one of the women into custody where a brief struggle occurred and she was later released.
The woman later called the RCMP detachment to make a complaint, but details of her injuries have not been released.
Manitoba’s police watchdog recommended a charge be laid against the officer following its investigation.
Const. Kyle Kruzer has been charged with assault and was released Tuesday on a summons to appear in court, the IIU said.
