The Independent Investigation Unit has determined that charges will be laid against a Brandon Police officer for his conduct in a 2023 arrest.
On September 24th, 2023, officers responded to a call of attempted arson, and a suspect fled the scene. As the suspect was fleeing, an officer struck them with a police cruiser, breaking their arm.
The civilian director has determined charges should be laid against the officer. BPS Const. Myran Hamm faces one count of assault causing bodily harm and one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
As this matter is now before the courts, the IIU will not comment further.
