Release:
RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has referred an investigation involving a woman who was injured during an arrest to the Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT).
On July 24, at approximately 4:50 p.m., officers responded to a disturbance in the 100 block of Dickey Dr. Officers learned a woman was breaching conditions ordered by the court. Upon arrival at the home, officers arrested the woman for Failing to Comply and Criminal Harassment. During the arrest, the woman was injured.
The 63-year-old woman was transported to hospital by EHS for a non-life-threatening injury. She’s scheduled to appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.
The matter has been referred to SiRT. SiRT independently investigates all serious incidents which arise from the actions of police in Nova Scotia. There does not have to be an allegation of wrongdoing.
Given the matter is now being investigated by SiRT, the RCMP will respectfully refrain from discussing further details.
