Police say an off-duty constable went to a home last month wearing his full uniform and threatened a person over a debt owed to a third party.
Days later the alleged third party, Prakesh Manoharan, was arrested on extortion and threatening charges — and then on Thursday Constable Lionel Peters was arrested and charged with threatening bodily harm, extortion, breach of public trust and careless storage of a firearm.
The 42 -year-old Peters has been suspended from the force and remains in custody pending a bail hearing on Monday. (The Canadian Press)
