MILTON–A Superior Court judge has found an OPP officer not
guilty of breach of trust and attempting to obstruct justice.
Sgt. Dennis Mahoney-Bruer was
arrested in May 2009 after an investigation by the Ontario
Provincial Police Professional Standards Bureau.
During Mahoney-Bruer’s trial, the Crown alleged he fabricated
evidence to give tickets to drivers for travelling 50 km/h over
the speed limit because he was getting kickbacks from tow truck
drivers.
In Ontario, driving 50 km/h over the limit results in an
immediate seven-day vehicle impoundment, according to the
Ministry of Transportation.
Mahoney-Bruer wore a dark grey suit with a purple tie in court
Thursday.
