The province’s Special Investigations Unit says that there were no reasonable grounds that a member of the Orillia OPP committed an offence following an incident in late March.
On March 29th, police were attempting to arrest a 33-year-old man in Orillia for breaching the conditions of a release order by attempting to visit a resident of an apartment building.
The man was in possession of a knife, and after a stand-off, he threatened to harm himself and then jumped from a roof in an attempt to run away.
An officer then fired an Anti-Riot Weapon Enfield, or ARWEN, and the man was then taken into custody.
