Trial postponed for OPP officer

WOODSTOCK — A trial for an OPP officer who is accused of breaching his bail conditions after facing assault, mischief and firearms charges has been rescheduled for December 19.

Timothy Healey, a Tillsonburg resident and police constable, was originally scheduled for a three-hour trial on Nov. 7.

According to court records, that trial was designed to deal with an April charge that alleged Healey failed to comply with a condition of his bail that prevented him from communicating directly or indirectly with the complainant in the case and two other people.

The 10-year veteran of the force faces charges of assault, possessing an unlicensed restricted firearm, two counts of possessing a firearm without being a holder of a licence, possessing cartridge magazines without a licence and two counts of storing firearms without rendering them inoperable with a secure locking device.

The assault charge results from an incident on March 21, 2012.

The charges also include one count of mischief where Healey is accused of the "obstruction, interrupting or interfering with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property" by disconnecting hydro, water and telephone.

Healey will be back in court for those charges on November 13.

In 2011, Healey was found guilty of discreditable conduct during an Ontario Police Discipline Hearing under the auspices of the OPP's internal Professional Standards Bureau.

In 2006, Healey was one of four OPP officers awarded the Commissioner's Citation for Lifesaving as the result of an incident in Tillsonburg in June 2005.
