Case of Mountie charged with perjury and obstruction of justice due in court

HARBOUR GRACE, N.L. – The case of an RCMP officer charged with perjury and obstruction of justice is due in court today in Harbour Grace, N.L.

Const. Shawn Greene was charged Feb. 10 after Halifax police conducted an independent investigation into a complaint made last May.

The RCMP have said the investigation focused on Greene’s work while he was stationed in Harbour Grace, but have not disclosed details of the alleged offences.

Greene was transferred to Nova Scotia’s Richmond County in February 2012.

He was suspended with pay after the charges were laid.

The Mounties have said an internal investigation is also underway.
