Const. Michael Gentle charged after off-duty incident
An officer with the Southern Georgian Bay OPP detachment has been charged with assault after an off-duty incident.
Const. Michael Gentle, who has served as a member of the provincial force since 2006, was charged with one count of assault causing bodily harm.
The charge came as a result of investigation by the OPP's Professional Standards Bureau (PSB).
OPP spokesperson Sgt. Peter Leon said he could not give any details about where and when the incident took place or the nature of the investigation.
"That does form part of the investigation," he said. "Since it's before the courts, I'm not at liberty to speak to it right now."
Gentle has been suspended from duty with pay and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on March 28.
