An Edmonton Police Service officer was charged today in relation to an alleged incident which took place on Jan. 3, 2013.
Const. Dustin Adsett, a seven-year member with the EPS, was charged with one count of assault pursuant to section 266 of the Criminal Code of Canada. The charge stems from an on-duty incident where the officer responded to a report of a disturbance. The constable remains on active duty.
The charge follows an in-depth investigation by the EPS Professional Standards Branch and a recommendation from Alberta Justice.
As the matter is currently before the courts, the EPS is not able to provide further comment or information about the incident or investigation.
