LeRue was held overnight in the Halifax police lockup, facing a criminal charge for obstruction of justice — a charge later resolved through restorative justice.Supreme Court Justice Mona Lynch says she backs the board’s conclusion that O’Brien did not adhere to the police code of conduct and that the board’s “reasoning process was clear.”
She describes the constable’s actions as a “cookie-cutter approach” to policing that doesn’t agree with established law.The board’s original finding said O’Brien violated several articles of the police code, including one that refers to “acting in a manner that is reasonably likely to bring discredit on the reputation of the police department.”
The board dismissed the allegations against the second officer, Const. Brent Woodworth, concluding he acted largely on O’Brien’s instructions and according to police training.
