A 15-year veteran of Greater Sudbury Police Services, Const. Scott Mills, has been charged with assault with a weapon, assault and mischief.
The police department issued a news release Sunday which says Mills was not working at the time of the alleged offence.
Mills was held in custody over the weekend awaiting a bail hearing this morning.
Last July, the constable received an absolute discharge after being found guilty of an assault on a woman dating back to 1999.
