An Orillia OPP officer has been cleared of any wrong-doing by the SIU, following an arrest this summer.
Police say a 41 year old man riding a bicycle on Front Street South on August 29th was wanted for breaching his release and tried to elude officers before being forced to the ground, where he continued to resist arrest and was met by a knee strike to the left side delivered by an officer.
The officers were able to handcuff the man, who was subsequently diagnosed with two left-sided rib fractures.
The director of the SIU determined the officer used reasonable force to take the suspect into custody.
