PRINCE GEORGE — The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has completed its investigation into an incident that occurred on April 25,2025 in Prince George.

At around 5:20 p.m. that night, RCMP responded to a reported disturbance caused by a man shouting and behaving erratically outside a gas station in the 100 block of George Street.

When officers arrived, they found a man matching the description provided by the caller in a nearby parking lot in the 100 block of Queensway.

Multiple officers responded and took the man into custody. A Taser was used during the arrest, and the man was taken to the RCMP detachment cells.

 BC Emergency Health Services were called to assess the man as he was believed to be in a state of psychosis. Paramedics transported him to a hospital where he was found to be suffering from a serious medical condition.

 The IIO was notified of the incident the day after it occurred and began an investigation.

 The chief civilian director has now reviewed the evidence collected by IIO investigators – including witness statements, medical records and video footage – and has determined that there are no reasonable grounds to believe that an officer may have committed an offence.

 The IIO investigation is now concluded, and a public report will be published following conclusion of a related court process.
