OPP constable from Wasaga Beach chargedWASAGA BEACH, ON — An Ontario Provincial Police officer faces several charges, including theft and breach of trust.
Kara Darnley, a constable with the Huronia West OPP detachment — which serves the central Ontario resort community of Wasaga Beach, and Clearview and Springwater townships — was charged Wednesday morning with obstructing justice, theft under $5,000, possession under $5,000, and three counts of criminal breach of trust.
She was charged following a joint investigation by the OPP's Professional Standards Bureau, and the Criminal Investigation Branch. Darnley has been suspended from duty, with pay.
Sgt. Peter Leon, the media relations officer for Central Region OPP, was unable to comment on when the incidents are alleged to have taken place, or if Darnley was on duty when the crimes were allegedly committed.
“It was a fairly lengthy investigation that led to the arrest this morning,” said Sgt. Leon.
Darnley has been with the OPP for five years and currently resides in Wasaga Beach.
The 27-year-old appeared last spring on Wipe-Out Canada, a reality show that puts contestants through a series of obstacles.
She was eliminated in the second round.
Darnley is scheduled to appear in the Collingwood court on Sept. 11, 2012.
