RCMP Const. Bruce Lofroth has pleaded guilty to assaulting a young man during an arrest in 2014. The Terrace RCMP officer was charged after video of the violent arrest was obtained by local newspaper, and posted online. He will be sentenced in October. In the video — filmed in May 2014 — a teenager can be seen lying on the ground while being punched in the head by the RCMP officer. Later, the young man is pushed into a police vehicle. The youth had been charged with assaulting Lofroth but those charges were later dropped. |
