RCMP Assistant Commissioner David Teboul charged with assault, choking, in B.C.
VICTORIA — One of the top RCMP officers in British Columbia has been charged with multiple counts of assault while off-duty, leading to the appointment of a special prosecutor.
The BC Prosecution Service says Assistant Commissioner David Teboul, who is the RCMP’s Pacific Region commander, is accused of assault and assault by choking against one person, and a single count of assault against a second person.
A news release from the prosecution service says Teboul was charged in provincial court on Thursday, as a result of alleged offences in Abbotsford on July 2.
It says his first appearance in court is scheduled for Oct. 9 in Abbotsford.
The prosecution service says special prosecutors are appointed to “avoid any potential for real or perceived improper influence” on the justice process.
It says Vancouver lawyer Andi MacKay was appointed to the role on Aug. 20.
