A former member of the Assiniboia RCMP has been charged with criminal breach of trust after $16,000 disappeared from a charity’s bank account.
On Monday, Jason St. Pierre was charged with criminal breach of trust. The charge has not been proven in court.
The charge comes more than three years after he led a December 2015 fundraising campaign for a local charity in the town, located 135 kilometres southwest of Regina, Saskatchewan RCMP said in a news release.
In January 2017, it was discovered that the charity’s bank account was empty, RCMP said in the Wednesday release. An investigation revealed that more than $16,000 had been withdrawn from the bank account, which was then closed.
