Prince George RCMP officers suing B.C. Attorney General, Independent Investigations Office

Two Prince George RCMP officers who faced charges that were later dropped in relation to an arrest caught on video are claiming they were the subject of a "negligent investigation and malicious prosecution."

The charges stemmed from a takedown in an alleyway off the 2200 block of Oak St. during the early morning of Feb. 18, 2016 in which RCMP had boxed in a stolen pickup truck. That aspect was among a list of alleged shortcomings in the Crown's case cited in the notice of claim. In June 2020 - four years since the takedown - Connell and Sharpe were arrested, charged and released with no-contact conditions.

The first witness at the trial, Carstairs produced her report and, the next day, Basil was called to the witness stand. Despite Crown's efforts, his testimony was vague and jumbled and given reluctantly.
