Other notable criminals

- Several Durham officers have run into trouble over the last two years:

- Police charged veteran officer Constable Scott Andrew Terry with sexual assault and possession of child pornography in early 2012. He is scheduled to appear in court again next week in pretrial proceedings.

- Constable Jamie Broadstock received probation for 18 months and a suspended sentence after pleading guilty to drug possession. The Crown dropped a trafficking charge.

- Police charged Constable Tara Cramp with drug trafficking, breach of trust and fraud in a major bust in June 2012 involving about 30 individuals.

- Constable Thomasz Stefanski received a fine of more than $850 late last year for driving 155 km/h or almost double the speed limit in Clarington while off duty the previous May. The force also "informally" disciplined two other officers who initially stopped him and let him go.

- A court gave Constable Lee Douglas an absolute discharge in December after he pleaded guilty to stealing a dead man's shotgun. However, in a separate proceeding under the Police Services Act, he received a demotion in rank for 18 months that will cost him more than $15,000 in lost salary.

- The force charged off-duty Constable Matthew McLaughlin with two counts of impaired driving last October after he attended a police memorial golf tournament in Ajax and collided with another vehicle. He was seriously injured.

- The Durham Regional Police Association accused Chief Mike Ewles in January 2011 of balking at a security guard's request to check his wife's purse before a hockey game. The group also alleged he interfered in a case involving a friend's speeding ticket. No agency regulating police has found any wrongdoing by Chief Ewles.
