Constable Kelsey Muise told a St. John’s, N.L., courtroom Wednesday that in January 2015, a woman in the back of her patrol car said she had been assaulted by a police officer.
Muise said she pulled the car over, flicked on the overhead light and turned around in her seat to face the woman.
“She was visibly upset,” Muise told the trial, adding that the woman was drunk and grew more distraught the longer she was in the vehicle. She said she put the woman’s allegation “through the chain of command” at the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary “because of the nature of the complaint.”
