Malbeuf is accused of possessing a restricted firearm without a registration certificate and will appear in Swift Current provincial court on Wednesday morning.
He was originally suspended following an incident at an Edmonton home on Dec. 13, 2016 where a woman accused Malbeuf of pointing a firearm at her.
Malbeuf, a 12-year veteran of the force, was charged by Edmonton police with pointing a firearm and careless use of a firearm.
