LETHBRIDGE, AB. — An eight day hearing is set to begin October 27, 2021, for five Lethbridge police officers facing a total of 32 counts of misconduct.

According to Global News, the five include Sgt. Jason Moulton, who pleaded not guilty to eight counts of professional misconduct, while Const. Keon Woronuk, Const. Matthew Rilkoff, Const. Derek Riddel and Const. David Easter each pleaded not guilty to six counts.

The officers, who pleaded not guilty on Friday (June 11), were suspended with pay in March of this year. They face the misconduct counts relating to alleged memes dating from 2018, depicting LPS brass, including former Chief Rob Davis and deputy chief Scott Woods.
