Lawyer Sudine Riley alleged that uniformed Durham officers slammed her head on a desk and put their knees on her back and neck after challenging her presence in the courthouse interview room where she was working. The Durham Regional Police Service said Wednesday that the assault allegations were investigated by York regional police, who found no grounds to lay charges against the officers involved. “The events of Jan. 23, 2026 have had a significant and lasting impact on Ms. Riley. Ms. Riley is committed to pursuing all avenues to ensure accountability,” Lewis said. The association added it is “interested in there being transparency regarding the decision by the York Regional Police to not lay charges against the Durham officers involved.”
