A man testified Wednesday that he saw his wife body-slammed and repeatedly punched by a Mountie during an arrest outside the couple’s western New Brunswick home.
Barry Scott testified in a Woodstock courtroom during the trial of RCMP Cpl. Andrew Whiteway, who’s charged with aggravated assault against Christina Gillis.
The charge stems from an incident outside Gillis’s home in Richmond Corner, near Woodstock, on June 13, 2024.
Scott, a Woodstock police officer, testified he was off-duty and at home when Gillis called 911 for assistance with someone who was experiencing a mental health crisis.
CBC News is not naming the person who was in distress in order to protect their identity.
