Wednesday, May 04, 2011 at 14:33
An assault charge has been withdrawn against an RCMP officer from La Loche.
Yesterday, at Melfort provincial court, it was learned that mediation between Constable Anthony Bear and the other party was successful.
Bear was charged back in November after an incident between himself and another man in Melfort.
He was originally charged with assault causing bodily harm; however, that was later changed to common assault.
An RCMP spokesperson says he has since returned to active duty.
