The province’s police watchdog will not charge a Thunder Bay Police officer.
In the decision released Thursday the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) determined there are no reasonable grounds to believe that the officer committed a criminal offence in connection with an arrest and serious injury back on April 29, 2021.
The officer attempted to apprehend a person with outstanding warrants but the suspect fled on foot and entered a residence on Marks Street North.
He eventually jumped from a second-floor balcony, breaking his left foot and injuring a finger on his left hand.
The SIU investigates incidents involving police officers where there has been a death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
