No jail time for Mountie in violent arrest, assault of youth in Terrace, B.C.
TERRACE, B.C. — A RCMP officer will not spend time in jail for assaulting a teenager in Terrace, B.C., during a violent arrest more than two years ago.
However the suspended sentence handed to Const. Bruce Lofroth by a provincial court judge on Wednesday will mean he’ll have a conviction registered against him.
Lofroth must also serve 12 months probation, 100 hours of community service, attend counselling and pay a $200 fine.
Lofroth pleaded guilty in August to an assault charge after footage of the arrest in May 2014 surfaced online.
