SIU Ottawa: Police watchdog drops probe into lady who jumped from lodge window

Ontario’s police watchdog has dropped its investigation right into a 23-year-old lady who jumped out of a fourth-floor lodge room window when police knocked on the door.

The lady was staying in a fourth-floor room of a Hampton Inn in Ottawa on June 3 when she heard a knock on the door, the Particular Investigations Unit mentioned in a information launch Wednesday.

When she approached the door she heard somebody say that they have been police, and to open the door. She tried to flee by breaking by means of a window and leaping out. She landed on a first-floor construction and suffered fractures, the SIU mentioned.

One other particular person within the room opened the door to a number of plainclothes cops.

The SIU’s preliminary inquiries decided it was “plain and apparent that the officers did nothing to contribute to the lady’s accidents that might conceivably appeal to felony sanctions,” the information launch mentioned.

“As there was patently nothing to analyze so far as the potential felony legal responsibility of any police officer was involved, the file has been closed.”

The SIU investigates police-involved incidents the place there may be dying, severe harm, allegation of sexual assault or discharge of a firearm by an official at an individual.
