Const. Arthur Dalman ordered a bystander to delete video taken during an arrest
A Prince George RCMP officer was found guilty Thursday of obstructing justice in relation to a seven-year-old arrest turned fatal.
Provincial Court Judge Adrian Brooks issued the verdict against Const. Arthur Dalman after finding he had ordered a bystander to delete video taken at the scene.Immediately after the verdicts were issued, Dalman's lawyer, Neil Wiberg, told the court he will be seeking a hearing on whether the time it had taken to get the case to trial had violated his client's Charter rights.
The outcome stems from the July 18, 2017 apprehension of Dale Culver, who died shortly after while in police custody. Two other officers had stood accused of manslaughter until it was determined that Culver was under the influence of methamphetamine that led to heart failure following a struggle with police.
It took Brooks more than three hours to read out his decision, delivered in a courtroom packed with about 100 people. One side was dominated by colleagues of the accused, a good portion uniformed police officers, the other side friends and family of Culver - daughter Lily Speed-Namox in the front row - as well as noted Indigenous leaders such as B.C. Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief Terry Teegee.
