A Winnipeg police officer has been charged in an assault incident dating back to April of last year.
On April 25, 2009, shortly before 2:30am, the RCMP Neepawa Detachment were notified of that a man had been assaulted outside a licenced premise in the Town of Neepawa.
RCMP and local EMS attended, a large crowd was noted outside the establishment and a 52-year-old Neepawa man was found semi-conscious at the scene. The man was conveyed to the Neepawa Hospital where he was admitted with non-life threatening injuries.
An investigation followed and on October 29, 2009 the investigative report was submitted to Manitoba Justice for opinion. On March 29, 2010, the RCMP Neepawa Detachment received Crown opinion to lay a charge of assault causing bodily harm.
36-year-year old Kenneth LePage of the Winnipeg Police Service has now been charged with assault causing bodily harm and has been summoned to appear in Neepawa Provincial Court on June 1, 2010.
