A police constable in Guelph, Ont. pleaded guilty Wednesday to discreditable conduct – for a second time.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) is trying to determine the penalty for Corey McArthur, who admitted to assaulting a teen while on duty.
This is the second hearing on the matter after McArthur successfully appealed a 2022 ruling.
In September 2016, a 17-year-old was acting erratically and threatened self-harm. While handcuffed to a bed at Guelph General Hospital, the teen kneed McArthur in the chest or stomach.
The constable then elbowed the teen, either causing or aggravating a previous injury that left him with a 3.5 centimetre cut under his eye. The teen experienced bruising and swelling, while the laceration required stitches.
Video obtained from the hospital showed the interaction between McArthur and the teen.
He pleaded guilty to the assault in 2018.
