Arrested man injured: Calgary police officer found guilty of assault
CALGARY — A judge has ruled that a Calgary police officer used excessive force against a suspect who was seriously injured during an arrest.
Const. James Othen has been convicted of assault causing bodily harm and of assault with a weapon for his role in a traffic stop.
Two other officers were found not guilty of assault charges, while Othen was cleared of public mischief.
Court heard during a trial last year that police chased Clayton Prince when he ran away after being pulled over.
