WOODSTOCK, Ont. - Brantford, Ont., police have charged a former Woodstock police officer with breach of trust.

Woodstock police say the charges stem from an incident that occurred while the officer was employed with the Woodstock Police Service.

Woodstock police launched an internal investigation in January, and requested assistance from Brantford police to conduct the probe.

Spokeswoman Sgt. Debbie Peterman says William McLeod of Woodstock resigned from the Woodstock Police Service in February and is to appear in court on April 14.
