RCMP arrest man.
Alberta’s police watchdog says a constable with the RCMP’s Banff detachment has been charged in connection with a break-in at a Banff hotel room two years ago.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team said it was directed to investigate the incident that occurred “in the early hours” of Oct. 23, 2022.
“The incident occurred at a hotel room occupied by two adult females with whom (the) officer had socialized with earlier that evening,” said ASIRT.
“The evidence gathered during ASIRT’s investigation provided reasonable grounds to believe that an offence had been committed.”
ASIRT said the findings of its investigation were forwarded to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service that said the evidence did meet their standard for prosecution.
On Sept. 4, Garret Claxton was charged with break and enter. He appeared in Canmore court on Sept. 25.
