LLOYDMINSTER — A Crown prosecutor has stayed a breach of trust charge against a 38-year-old Saskatchewan RCMP officer. The charge was stayed in Lloydminster Provincial Court on May 15.
The officer was charged in November 2025 after a lengthy investigation by the Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) into the death of a 68-year-old man near Lloydminster that occurred in 2024.
According to RCMP, at about 7:14 a.m. on April 3, 2024, Maidstone RCMP received a call requesting a wellness check on a man after a relative had been told he was possibly deceased in the R.M. of Britannia. The call was dispatched to an on-call officer at the Maidstone RCMP detachment, but he didn’t immediately respond.
At approximately 4:30 p.m., the relative contacted RCMP again for an update. Nine minutes later, the original officer assigned to the case left the detachment.
At 5:01 p.m., a different relative who had gone to the rural property called police to report the man was seriously injured but alive. RCMP officers arrived shortly after, and the man was taken to hospital by EMS, where he later died.
