Watch below from Nov. 15: A former Calgary police officer is facing almost a dozen charges after he allegedly harassed a Calgary couple. Global’s Tracy Nagai reports.
Police say a man and a woman came forward in January alleging two cases of harassment.
An investigation revealed that the woman had been stopped in a Calgary parking lot in July 2015 for traffic violations and her vehicle was towed.
An officer drove the woman home, but she alleges she was confined in the back of a locked police vehicle for 3 1/2 hours.
The same police officer allegedly met the woman and her boyfriend six months later in front of their home, told the man to wait in his car and followed the woman into her house without permission.
The investigation also found the officer was using Calgary Police Service databases to obtain information about the complainants.
McHugh wasn’t in court when the case came up on Tuesday.
