US EditionB.C. Mountie Gets Probation in Fatal 2017 Arrest of Dale Culver in Prince George
Arthur Dalman was sentenced to 18 months probation after ordering deletion of video related to the 2017 arrest and death of Dale Culver in custody, a serious crime impacting justice integrity.
- On Monday, a B.C. court handed former Prince George RCMP Const. Arthur Dalman 18 months probation, creating a criminal record with reporting and 150 hours of community service.
- The conviction stems from an order to delete footage, and Dalman was found guilty of ordering a witness who recorded video at the 2017 arrest in Prince George to delete it while securing the scene; his Charter challenge was rejected, clearing the way for sentencing.
- Official accounts say multiple officers used force and pepper-sprayed, punched, kicked, and kneed Culver, who died 30 minutes later after complaining of breathing trouble.
- B.C. Provincial Court judge Michael Fortino said obstructing justice is `an objectively serious crime` that `threatens the integrity of the justice system` but noted Dalman's junior status was mitigating and a senior officer would `most certainly` face jail.
- Dalman's post-incident history shows he received a life-saving award, later faced disciplinary action for lying under oath, officially resigned, and sought mental-health support after leaving the Prince George RCMP.
