Former Montreal cop known as Agent 728 cited for ethics violations
MONTREAL — Quebec’s police ethics commission has found a former Montreal officer known as “Agent 728” guilty of five code violations.
The case against Stefanie Trudeau involved a young Montrealer who was subjected in May 2012 to a so-called “Starlight Tour” in which he was driven around town in the back of a cruiser and dropped off far from home.
In a decision issued last Friday, Trudeau was found guilty of five violations, including excessive force and negligently putting the health and safety of Julian Menezes at risk.
Menezes had attempted to defend a cyclist who he said was being intimidated by police, but was arrested and dropped off in another part of the city.
