Counts stem from July 2017 death of Dale Culver; three other officers charged with attempting to obstruct justice
Two Prince George RCMP officers have been charged with manslaughter, the B.C. Prosecution Service said Wednesday.
As well, three other officers -- Cst. Arthur Dalman, Cst. Clarence Alexander MacDonald, and Sgt. Bayani Eusebio Cruz -- have been charged with attempting to obstruct justice in relation to the incident, BCPS said. Culver, an Indigenous man from the Gitxsan and Wet'suwet'en Nations, was 35 years old at the time of his death.
There was allegedly a struggle when police tried to take the man into custody, other officers were called, and pepper spray was used. Officers noticed the man appeared to have trouble breathing and called for medical assistance. He collapsed immediately after being taken out of the police vehicle and died soon after, police say.
