Ont. police watchdog closes probe into Sudbury man's fall during police raid
A Special Investigations Unit logo is seen on a truck near the scene of a police incident in Ontario on April 24, 2025. (File photo/THE CANADIAN PRESS/Arlyn McAdorey) The Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has closed its investigation into the serious injuries sustained by a 32-year-old man in Greater Sudbury after he fell from a fourth-storey window while evading police. The incident occurred on May 29, when officers from the Greater Sudbury Police Service executed a search warrant at an apartment near the intersection of Elgin Street and Elm Street. According to the SIU, police entered the unit through an unlocked door, deployed a distraction device and announced their presence before the man exited through the window. Investigation terminated following preliminary findings 'The man had no interaction with police prior to his decision to depart the premises via the fourth-floor window,' said Stacey O'Brien, the watchdog agency's deputy director, in a news release Tuesday. The man landed on the rooftop of a second-storey building, where he was arrested. He later complained of pain and was hospitalized with fluid accumulation near his kidney and liver. Video footage supports the decision 'Based on the SIU's preliminary inquiries, corroborated by video footage, police were not responsible for the injuries sustained by the man,' the agency said. With no basis for further investigation into potential criminal liability, the case has been closed. Role of the SIU The SIU is an independent civilian agency that probes incidents involving police and other officials that result in death, serious injury, sexual assault, or firearm discharges at a person. Under the Special Investigations Unit Act, the agency must assess whether criminal charges are warranted and publicly report its findings.

The vehicle wasn't the only thing taken — Nobi says his laptop, credit card, wallet, and other belongings were inside. By the time Nobi realized what was happening, it was too late to stop him. Story continues below advertisement 'I tried to catch him, but he was already at the driveway,' he said. 'So I called someone who works at a nearby board shop. He helped me drive all the way to the airport to follow him — but we couldn't find him.' Later that evening, a phone notification offered the first clue about the suspect's location. 'Highway 33 in the Rutland area. He was shopping there,' Nobi said. 'He used my debit card — and my wife's debit card too. There was a $470 transaction.' Nobi admits he left his keys in the car, a mistake he never expected to impact his small business. 'I had to shut down my business yesterday. I lost money,' he said. The RCMP confirm the theft remains under investigation.
