Criminal charges against an Alberta RCMP officer accused of assaulting another officer in 2019 were withdrawn Wednesday morning in a Fort McMurray courtroom after the constable agreed to enter into a one-year peace bond that includes mandatory domestic violence counselling. According to court documents, Seguin was accused of unlawfully entering the house rented by a fellow Fort McMurray RCMP officer in August 2019 and assaulting her. He was accused of assaulting a female RCMP officer who rented the home. The peace bond was ordered under a section of the Criminal Code that's designed to protect a victim from further violence. Seguin provided a $1,000 no-cash deposit that will be forfeited if he breaks any of the peace bond conditions.
