GUELPH — A hospital-security exhibit shows a 17-year-old restrained to a stretcher before Const. Corey McArthur delivered an elbow strike he later admitted was excessive. The agreed record includes the youth's preceding knee strike, a 3.5 cm laceration requiring stitches, and McArthur's guilty pleas to assault and discreditable conduct. GuelphToday reported that he had been on paid leave since 2016. On July 17, 2026, a hearing officer again ordered him dismissed unless he resigned within seven days; Guelph Police says he appealed on July 24, so that penalty is not final.
