SIU Invokes Mandate Over White River Domestic Dispute Arrest

Ontario's Special Investigations Unit is invoking its mandate over a White River domestic dispute.
Superior East Ontario Provincial Police say they responded to the dispute around 8:30 pm Tuesday night, with the Emergency Response Team and Canine Unit also attending to assist, leading to the arrest of an accused person around 12:30 Wednesday afternoon, though OPP note the accused sustained injuries during the police "interaction".
That's prompted the SIU to invoke its mandate, which includes investigating interactions with police that result in a death or serious injury.
OPP aren't commenting any further, as the SIU investigates.
It's the second time the SIU's invoked its mandate in a Superior East OPP case in the last two weeks.
The SIU's also looking into an incident late last month: two suspects in a White River gas theft were seen on a snowmobile in Wawa, which was later involved in a collision on Mission Road - one of the riders, a 29-year-old man, was taken to hospital for treatment of a serious injury, while the other fled the scene.
The SIU urges anyone with information about that to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529, and - if you have video evidence - upload it through the SIU website.
