A Prince George Mountie who was found guilty of obstruction of justice in the Dale Culver case will have to wait until at least 2025 to be sentenced.
According to the BC Prosecution Service, Constable Arthur Dalman was found guilty of the charge for ordering a bystander to remove video from his cellphone in relation to the events following the arrest and takedown of Culver dating back to July of 2017.
Culver died in police custody shortly after a struggle with officers.
The Prosecution Service noted Dalman was one of two officers on trial in the case – however, Sgt. Bayani (Jon) Eusebio Cruz was found not guilty.
Last month, Dalman’s legal team filed an application for a stay of proceedings based on a pair of breaches related to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The court has set aside April 28 to May 2, 2025 to hear the application, which will delay Dalman’s sentencing hearing.
In April, manslaughter charges against Constable Paul Ste-Marie and Constable Jean Francois Monette were dropped during a preliminary hearing at the Prince George Courthouse.
A month later, a criminal charge against Const. Clarence Alexander MacDonald was stayed.
