The Director of the Special Investigations Unit, Joseph Martino, found no reasonable grounds to believe a Windsor Police Service officer committed a criminal offence in connection with the fractured nose and orbital bone suffered by a 38-year-old man.
On September 11, 2025, officers were called to a couple’s home in the area of Cabana Road East and Walker Road for a break and enter in progress. The intruder had demanded their vehicle and assaulted one of them. Officers located the man in the vehicle in the garage.
The evidence indicates the man vigorously resisted his arrest, kicking the officer at least twice in the chest and punching him in the forehead. The officer responded with like force by punching the man twice.
The man continued to resist, even after he was out of the vehicle. At one point, having wrapped his arms around the officer’s waist, the officer discharged his conducted energy weapon. He was handcuffed and taken to hospital.
