B.C.'s Police Watchdog Forwards Case To Crown In Death Of Penticton Boy

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 11 Aug, 2016 12:56 PM
  • B.C.'s Police Watchdog Forwards Case To Crown In Death Of Penticton Boy
PENTICTON, B.C. — Crown lawyers must decide if charges should be laid against a Penticton RCMP officer involved in a collision that killed a young boy in the Okanagan city last September.
 
The chief civilian director of British Columbia's Independent Investigations Office has forwarded paperwork to the Crown following a nearly year-long review.
 
Five-year-old James McIntosh died on Sept. 15, 2015, as he rode his bike across a busy Penticton intersection with his father and brother by his side.
 
McIntosh was hit by a pickup truck driven by the off-duty RCMP officer who was making a right turn through the crosswalk.
 
The director does not make a recommendation on whether charges should be approved.
 
Instead, the IIO report is sent to Crown to consider if an officer may have committed an offence.
