A Delta police officer is facing forgery charges.
Const. Geoffrey Young was this week charged with two counts of forgery in relation to prescription pain medication after a Surrey RCMP investigation, the department said in a news release.
The alleged offences took place on Nov. 8, 2015 and were not related to young’s police duties. At the time he was on administrative duties following a return to work after medical leave.
The officer, 38, is charged with forgery and causing a person to use a forged document. His next court appearance is scheduled for today.
Young has been a member of the Delta Police Department since 2009.
He remains on paid medical leave while a Police Act investigation is carried out.
