An officer of Edmonton police department testified in court on Friday, saying that MP of Edmonton, Peter Goldring, attempted to “negotiate his way out of it” when the police arrested him in December 2011. Const. Trevor Shelrud enlightened the pre-trial hearing in Edmonton, telling that Goldring bared strong odor of alcohol in his breath and was very aggressive at the time. Shelrud added that he wasn’t aware that he was arresting an MP at the time.
Goldring has asked the police to provide all cellphone records and radio communications between the officers involved in his arrest, as they have failed to provide a breath sample. Lawyer Dino Bottos requested records from an hour earlier than the time his client was turned in on Dec. 4, 2011, as he returned from a political fundraiser. Bottos alleged that “sometimes that can reveal what the police have said or thought at the time and that can be germane to determining whether there were sufficient grounds to make a demand or obtaining advice from other senior officers.” On the other side, Crown has stressed that the records of the time before Goldring’s arrest are completely unrelated.
Goldring was witnessing the proceedings of the pre-trial motion from the gallery. He did not offer any comment on the officer’s testimony. Goldring only stated that “all of this will be coming out in court,” when he exited courthouse. He added that its “suffice to say, our lawyer here, has been very, very thorough on viewing all aspects of this and the trial date itself will be where those comments will be discussed.”
