Judge says Abbotsford Const. Christopher Conway’s use of force was not excessive
Const. Christopher Conway was acquitted Monday in Abbotsford provincial court in a decision that was attended by several officers and staff of the Abbotsford Police Department , many of whom hugged and congratulated him afterwards.
En route to the call, the officers were told that the suspect, Michele Kroeker, had used a two-by-four and a metal shovel to smash windows and that the latest vehicle involved was a dump truck. Oh said an officer fired his “less lethal” shotgun at Kroeker’s upper body while he was sitting in the dump truck, but it appeared to have no effect and a second shot was fired by another officer.
Conflicting testimony was presented in court about what occurred next. Two officers on scene said that, at this point of the arrest, they believe Kroeker was compliant. Conway testified that he punched Kroeker twice after he was handcuffed because Kroeker continued to move. He said he needed Kroeker to remain still so he could search him and Kroeker could receive the urgent medical attention he required from the dog bite.
