The court case against the two Collingwood OPP officers charged with assault has been put off until Aug. 17.
Provincial Const. Jeremy Shiffman, 38, a five-year member of the OPP, and Provincial Const. Ashley Plumb, 26, a three-year member of the OPP, have each been charged with assault following an incident involving a woman on the Black Ash Trail.
According to police, on the morning of June 1, a 34-year-old Collingwood woman was out walking along the Black Ash Trail. At the same time, two people -- a man and a woman -- were running along the trail when a physical altercation occurred between them and the woman.
Shiffman and Plumb appeared briefly in Collingwood's Ontario Court of Justice Tuesday.
The two officers were charged on June 17 following an investigation by the OPP's Professional Standards Bureau. They have been assigned to administrative duties.
The Crown Attorney's office has not yet provided Plumb and Shiffman with disclosure, a legal representative said. Each officer is represented by a different lawyer.
The case was bound over until Aug. 17 at 9:30 a.m. to allow time for the disclosure to be provided.
In legal terms, disclosure is the presentation of all evidence collected by the police and the Crown Attorney's office pertaining to the case to the defence lawyers. Providing that material is mandatory

They will get away with it, the freaking gestapo Collingwood OPP think they, and practically do, own that town. They harass a LOT of people in a LOT of ways and often threaten them so few ever come forward, there is a disgusting underside to that town which is well hidden but well known to those who have been there long enough. I have never been in a city or town in my whole life which is as bad as Collingwood Ontario is. Some fear for their lifes from those pigs.
