KELOWNA (NEWS1130) – An RCMP officer who was videotaped kicking Buddy Tavares in the head in January has been charged with assault causing bodily harm.
It’s not the only charge Constable Geoff Mantler has been hit with. The Crown says Mantler has also been charged with assault following another incident.
Prosecutors add they’re still reviewing a third incident involving the officer, in which a man claims Mantler punched him.
