SIU drops investigation after suspect breaks jaw and vertebrae

The Special Investigations Unit has terminated an investigation into the arrest of a 50-year-old man last September who was later diagnosed with a fractured jaw and vertebrae.

Windsor Police arrested the man on September 12 without incident, but while in custody, he complained about a sore jaw.

The man was taken to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed his injuries.

However, SIU investigators found out the man was hurt three weeks before when he fell off a bicycle, and they had nothing to do with his arrest.

As a result, the SIU had no jurisdiction to investigate the incident, and the investigation was closed.
