More charges laid in case of alleged assault involving Toronto police officer
TORONTO — Ontario’s special investigations unit has laid more charges in a case in which a Toronto police officer is accused of assaulting a 19-year-old man.
Toronto police Const. Michael Theriault was charged earlier this week in connection with the alleged assault, which took place in Whitby, Ont., on Dec. 28, 2016.
The SIU says civilian Christian Theriault has also been charged in the same incident, but it does not indicate what, if any, relationship exists between the two men.
The agency has said there was an interaction allegedly involving Toronto police Const. Michael Theriault, who was off duty at the time, civilian Christian Theriault and the unnamed teen.
