Six Charged In Calgary Police Corruption Case Next In Court Sept. 9

The Canadian Press, 29 Aug, 2016 11:59 AM
    CALGARY — Six people accused in a corruption case that involves current and former members of the Calgary Police Service are next to appear in court on Sept. 9.
     
    When charges were announced in June, police said the group would be in court today.
     
    But in July the prosecution filed direct indictments, meaning the case is going directly to trial.
     
    Police allege that Kenneth Carter hired former officer Stephen Walton, who was working in security, to follow his former wife and report on her activity.
     
    Police say that Walton allegedly hired three members of the police service, who have also been charged.
     
    Also facing charges is Walton's wife, Heather, a former civilian member of the police service.
     
    Stephen Walton faces charges of criminal harassment, bribery of officers, improper storage of a firearm and perjury.
     
    Carter is charged with criminal harassment and perjury.
     
    The officers accused are Bryan Morton, Bradford McNish and Anthony Braile, who was dismissed on an unrelated matter earlier this year.
