Jason St. Pierre, a former member of the Assiniboia RCMP, was charged with Criminal Breach of Trust on May 22, 2019 after $16,000 disappeared from a charity's bank account.
He returned to the Moose Jaw Provincial Court on Monday, October 5 to receive a four-month sentence. St. Pierre also obtained a court order to return the missing cash from the account. He also received a one-year probation and must pay the money back in one year.聽
The charge originated five years ago, when the former officer led a December 2015 fundraising campaign for a local charity in Assiniboia, according to a Saskatchewan聽RCMP news release.
The charity's bank account was emptied in January 2017, the RCMP said.聽
An investigation revealed聽more than $16,000 had been withdrawn from the bank account, which was then聽closed.
St. Pierre resigned from the RCMP in June 2018.
