Detective Terry Freiter pleaded not guilty at an internal police disciplinary hearing on Tuesday, March 08, 2016 on charges ranging from corruption to misuse of police authority.
Freiter is alleged to have had business connections with two known criminals and to have bought property from them.
He is also under a separate internal police investigation for allegedly using police resources to help a private investigation firm.
The charges are as follows:
- 4 counts of corrupt practice
- 4 counts of insubordination
- 1 count of unlawful exercise of authority
- 1 count of discreditable conduct
A trial date will be set on March 30, 2016. Freiter is currently on active duty.
The internal hearings were supposed to be public but were not listed anywhere, but since CTV’s original story back in September and through meetings with the Chief of Police, the hearings are now listed online.
