O.P.P. OFFICER FACING CHARGES



The Waterloo Region Record carried a small story on February 4/17 titled "SIU charges OPP officer with 6 counts arising from collision". The Special Investigations Unit says that a 24 year old man was operating an ATV on the evening of June 22, 2016. He was involved in a collision with a motor vehicle. Const. Sean Coughlan was arrested last Friday and "charged with one count each of criminal negligence causing bodily harm and obstructing a peace officer, and two counts each of perjury and obstructing justice."The first court appearance in Sarnia is February 28/17.

Wow these are serious charges. The ATV rider suffered serious injuries in the collision. There is no mention of whether there was a chase involved or of any improper behaviour by the ATV rider.
