North Bay Police officer Barry MacIntosh has been found guilty of one of the two assault charges he was facing after an appeal of the March 2014 trial which saw MacIntosh cleared of all charges.
On the second charge, however, MacIntosh has been acquitted.
These two counts of assault were appealed by the Crown attorney's office after the acquittal of MacIntosh's four counts of assault, two counts of assault causing bodily harm and two counts of criminal harassment in the 2014 trial.
MacIntosh remains suspended with pay from the North Bay Police Service. A year ago then-Police Chief Paul Cook said MacIntosh was paid $312,000 while suspended since 2012. That figure would be much higher today. That figure also does not include overtime costs related to being short an officer, said Cook.
Cook was an advocate of changing the Police Services Act to allow police chiefs to suspend officers without pay under certain circumstances.
MacIntosh now faces a disciplinary hearing under the Police Services Act.
His sentencing is expected later today and BayToday.ca will update this story once it is made.
