London Police media relief officer Michelle Romano was tight-lipped about the case, but says they’re aware of the situation.
“The case is currently before the courts, and therefore it would be inappropriate for me to comment any further at this time.”
Romano added that there has been no change to either constable’s duties as a result of the charges; they’ll both appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in London on May 29.
