A 31-year-old mother of two is back in a Moncton court on January 3 in a case characterized as a police interaction gone wrong.
On June 23, at about 10:20 pm, someone called the 911 dispatch in New Brunswick to report a disturbance in progress at an apartment in Sackville. At about that same time, Chelsea McKenney and Justin Baird were settling in for the night, after putting their 6-year-old son to bed. Within about half an hour, McKenney said she found herself handcuffed and sitting in the back of a police cruiser, after having been tackled and arrested in her own hallway.
Sargeant Eric Hanson of the Sackville RCMP detachment confirmed by email that Sackville RCMP responded to a 911 call for a disturbance in progress at an apartment in Sackville, and that one person was arrested but did not provide more details.
The incident in McKenney and Baird’s apartment on June 23 has had several repercussions.
