Ontario’s police watchdog has ended its investigation into the apprehension of a teenager at the Belleville General Hospital parking lot.
The Special Investigations Unit says the incident happened on Oct. 9, 2025, after police were called by a woman who reported her daughter was out of control and acting combatively. Officers apprehended the teenager under the Mental Health Act.
According to the SIU, the teenager resisted police during the apprehension and engaged in self-injurious behaviour. Investigators say she struck her head against her mother’s vehicle and later against the ground while officers tried to safely restrain her.
The teenager was escorted into the hospital for medical assessment.
Following preliminary inquiries, including a review of medical records, deputy director Stacey O’Brien found no evidence of serious injury. As a result, the SIU determined it did not have jurisdiction to continue investigating.
The investigation has been discontinued and the file closed.
