ENFIELD:<\/strong> A Shubenacadie Provincial Court judge found an East Hants RCMP officer not guilty on a charge brought forward by the Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) following a September 2019 crash that left a woman with serious injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On September 13, 2019 at approximately 3:30 p.m., Const. Kayla Jeffrey was responding to a call to assist another member. She was driving an unmarked car with the emergency equipment activated on Hwy 2 in Enfield when the collision occurred. It took place near The Magnolia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The female driver and lone occupant of the vehicle struck by the unmarked car, a woman from the Grand Lake area, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She was transported by ambulance to hospital. Const. Jeffrey was also taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ADVERTISEMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”2″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”96″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nova Scotia\u2019s Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) announced on March 11, 2020 that there were grounds to lay a charge of operating a conveyance (motor vehicle) in a manner dangerous to the public causing bodily harm against Const. Jeffrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The case was scheduled to be heard April 20, 2020 but due to COVID19 it was postponed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Const. Jeffrey appeared in Shubenacadie Provincial Court on March 8, for a trial continuance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the Crown closed its case and asked for a directed verdict, noting that there was no longer a reasonable prospect of conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The defence offered no evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Judge Catherine Benton then issued the verdict, finding Const. Jeffrey not guilty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”111″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”113″] [adrotate banner=”78″] ENFIELD: A Shubenacadie Provincial Court judge found an East Hants RCMP officer not guilty on a charge brought forward by the Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) following a September 2019 crash that left a woman with serious injuries.
