Constable Who Shot Kevin St Arnaud Back at Work

Wednesday, May 27, 2009 10:50 AM

Prince George, B.C.- The Constable who fired the three shots which killed Kevin St. Arnaud in December of 2004 has been back to work for about three weeks.

Constable Ryan Sheremetta had been suspended with pay since January of 2008 when an investigation into allegations of perjury was started. At issue were statements Sheremetta had made under oath at the Coroner’s inquest into the death of St. Arnaud.

Sheremetta also faced a code of conduct hearing over that same issue.

Late last month, the Crown said it would not proceed with charges on the perjury allegations as the evidence was circumstantial. RCMP Inspector Dick Bent says in view of the decision by the Crown, the Code of Conduct hearing was dropped as well and Sheremetta is back at work.

Sheremetta is believed to be stationed in Kamloops.

Wow...who would think that the other RCMP officer and the civilian witness saw it all wrong.

Paul Koester who shoot Ian Bush last I read was also in Kamloops. Be careful.

Unless you are planning to be a Darwin award winner and physically attack these officers you should be okay in Kamloops.

Just don't raise your hands in Kamloops. It appears to be a "threatening gesture" to a certain group of people.

I see a pattern forming here. If you're an RCMP member and you want a holiday with pay, you simply shoot someone. What an incentive for killing huh?

And Kevin St. Arnaud didn't even have the weapon of choice (stapler) in his hand.

A year and a half off with pay.... Somethings is wrong with that to say anything of why he had the time off to begin with. Any of these mill workers around here that lost their mill in the last year only got part of their pay for one year on EI, then the cold hard reality... and nobody died as a result of the decisions of the mill workers.

I bet Sheremetta is laughing at the system and is gaming it for all the personal benefit he can regardless of his own integrity and that of his employer. Worse though are those in positions of decision making at the RCMP who are gaming incidents like Sheremetta to create legal precedent for more unaccountable powers that put the RCMP above the law, and yet unable to rule with the spirit of the law because of the integrity deficit. The tension by the RCMP brass is for legal room for police state tactics (for who's purpose?) as opposed to republican accountability.
