Dismissed Estevan police officer Mohammed Khan had his first scheduled court appearance in Estevan provincial court on Aug. 31.
Khan wasn’t present, but was represented by his lawyer on the phone who noted to presiding Judge Lane Wiegers that disclosure had been received, but more time was needed to review it.
Khan’s case was adjourned to Sept. 21.
In May of this year, Khan was involved in the arrest of an individual following a drug complaint. Allegations of assault, abuse of authority and discreditable conduct were made against him following the arrest.
An internal investigation was conducted, and Estevan police Chief Paul Ladouceur requested a further independent investigation from the Public Complaints Commission.
Both investigations found that the allegations were substantiated and Const. Khan was subsequently charged with one count of assault.
