Following an investigation by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT), a Banff RCMP officer is facing break-and-enter charges.
Const. Garret Claxton was charged in connection to an incident at a Banff hotel two years ago.
"An alleged break and enter that occurred in the early hours of Oct. 23, 2022," reads a release from ASIRT. "The incident occurred at a hotel room occupied by two adult females with whom the officer had socialized with earlier that evening."
"The evidence gathered during ASIRT’s investigation provided reasonable grounds to believe that an offence had been committed."
Claxton was charged on Sept 4, 2024, and is scheduled to appear in court on Sept 25.
"As this matter is now before the courts, no further information will be released."
