The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba, or IIU, has completed an investigation related to a Dauphin RCMP arrest from earlier in the year.
On June 3rd, Dauphin RCMP arrested an adult male after they received a report of a mental health crisis at 1 hotel in the 1600 block of Main Street South.
The male was eventually found in a bush area, causing RCMP to use a drone and police dog services to locate and arrest him. During that process, he sustained a dog bite, which caused a laceration on his calf. He was admitted to hospital for treatment, and not criminally charged.
IIU investigations are always completed when an arrest involves injury. After conducting interviews with the man and involved officers, the IIU determined the standard for prosecuting charges has not been met, and has closed their investigation.
