OPP Officer Finds Out Next Month Whether He'll Stand Trial

A Kenora OPP officer will find out next month whether he will have to
stand trial on a charge of dangerous driving causing death.

A three day preliminary hearing wrapped up at the Kenora Courthouse last
week for Constable Roy Bender.

He was charged by the Ontario Special Investigations Unit last fall in the
death of 42 year old Gloria Assin.

The Grassy Narrows resident was riding in the back of an OPP cruiser when it was involved in an collision with a transport at the intersection of the Kenora By-Pass and the Redditt Road.

Justice David Gibson is expected to decide if the matter should go to trial
on July 12th.
