Holly Walbourne, the former lawyer for the Thunder Bay Police Service, has been arrested and charged with obstructing a public or peace officer, breach of trust, and obstruction of justice. The charges stem from alleged false statements made to the Thunder Bay Police Services Board and other authorities.

THUNDER BAY – Charges against the former lawyer for the Thunder Bay Police Service relate to alleged false statements made to the Thunder Bay Police Services Board, the Ontario Civilian Police Commission, and police investigators.

As first reported by Willow Fiddler from the Globe and Mail, according to court documents the count of obstructing a public or peace officer involves allegations that Walbourne made false or misleading statements or statements containing material omissions to members of the Thunder Bay Police Services Board in October 2021.

Hughes was suspended in January 2022 but reinstated in early 2023 after an external investigation by the Toronto Police Service found the allegations against him to be unsubstantiated. The final count of obstruction of justice alleges Walbourne also made false or misleading statements or statements with material omissions to detectives with the Toronto Police Service between January 2022 and November 2022.
