EPS officer charged with assault after man had nose broken during arrest: ASIRT
Update: Const. Alexander Doduk was found not guilty in June 2025.
An Edmonton Police Service officer has been charged with assault after an investigation by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT).
ASIRT was directed on Nov. 26, 2019, after the EPS officer allegedly used a baton during an arrest, resulting in a broken nose.
As a result of the investigation, ASIRT found that there were reasonable grounds to believe that a crime had been committed, and forwarded the investigation to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service (ACPS).
After being advised by ACPS that the evidence met the standards for prosecution, ASIRT's executive director, Michael Ewenson, determined that the officer should be charged.
On Wednesday, Const. Alexander Doduk was charged with assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 11.
ASIRT is directed to investigate police matters that include serious injury or death to any person, as well as allegations of police misconduct.

RCMP launch secondary search in Battlefords for Ashley Morin
WATCH: RCMP will be searching waterways in the Battlefords area for clues into the 2018 disappearances of Sask. woman. The Saskatchewan RCMP says it has concluded an initial river search for signs of Ashley Morin, but found no evidence yet to indicate what happened to the missing woman. In an update sent Friday afternoon, a spokesperson with the RCMP said investigators have launched a secondary search in a remote area of the Battlefords river system. Morin was 31 years old when she was last seen in July of 2018 in North Battleford. Police believe she was the victim of a homicide. On June 16, RCMP announced that they will continue the investigation by conducting searches of rivers and riverbanks in the area throughout the week. 'The initial river search concluded yesterday afternoon. Today, investigators are conducting a secondary search in a remote area of the Battlefords river system; that search is expected to conclude tomorrow,' RCMP said in a statement Friday. RCMP say the historic case unit continues to investigate tips regarding Morin's disappearance. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
