The Ontario Special Investigations Unit has cleared an OPP officer
of any wrong-doing in an injury sustained by a person who was in custody
at the Kenora Detachment.
SIU director Ian Scott says there are no reasonable grounds to
believe the local officer committed any criminal offense after
34 year old Tony Kakegamic injured his index finger while being
place in the cell.
The report says Kakegamic tried to open the cell door several times
while officers attempted to lock the cell.
In the process, Kakegamic's left index finger was caught between
the door and the frame, causing the tip to be severed.
Scott concludes that the cause of the injury was the result of an accident
in which the officer had no intention of hurting the complainant.
