Immediately upon learning of the allegations on the evening of April 7, 2021, officers commenced a fast moving investigation, which resulted in the arrest early yesterday morning, states S/Sgt. Svend Nielsen 100 Mile House Detachment Commander. We have been closely engaged with the school administration and School District 27 who is supporting our investigation.
