Iqaluit, Nunavut (Canadian Press) – An RCMP officer from Iqaluit is accused of assaulting two people who were in police custody.
Police say the Mountie was on duty in the Nunavut capital May 16 when the alleged offences occurred. The officer has been charged with two counts of common assault. The charges were laid after results of a criminal investigation were sent to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada and were reviewed by an independent prosecutor.
Const. Kipanik Eegeesiak is to appear in court in Nunavut on September 14.
He is assigned to administrative duties in the meantime.
