WINNIPEG — Manitoba’s police watchdog says a Mountie did not use too much force during an arrest where a woman suffered a broken arm in Beausejour. The Independent Investigation Unit says an RCMP officer responded to a call in April about a woman throwing items in a convenience store. As the officer struggled with the intoxicated woman her right arm was broken. The woman has no memory of what happened and she was admitted for a mental health assessment. The unit, which investigates all serious incidents involving police in Manitoba, says the Mountie will not face charges.
