There will be a new hearing to determine what disciplinary action a disgraced Guelph police officer will face.

The Ontario Civilian Police Commission has ordered a new hearing on Corey McArthur after throwing out a previous decision ordering McArthur to quit or be fired from the Guelph Police Service.

McArthur’s legal team had argued that the previous adjudicator did not consider relevant factors like PTSD and there were fundamental gaps.

Former York Region deputy police chief Terence Kelly ruled last October that McArthur must either tender his resignation within seven days or be dismissed.

McArthur was twice convicted of assaulting a teen who was handcuffed in a hospital bed at Guelph General Hospital in 2016. Since the incident, he has been placed on administrative duty.

No date for the new hearing has been set.
