The BC Prosecution Service says two Vancouver police officers have been charged in the arrest of a former UBC football player nearly three years ago.
It says Constable Jarrod Sidhu has been charged with assault with a weapon and Constable Jagpreet Ghuman has been charged with assault.
The charges relate to the arrest of Jamiel Moore-Williams, during which a stun gun was deployed after he was stopped for jaywalking in February 2018.
The police complaint commissioner referred the matter to the prosecution service for consideration of charges after the RCMP failed to do so following its investigation into the incident.
