Man Charged With Officer's Death
A 19-year-old has been charged with manslaughter after a veteran York Regional police officer was dragged by a car and killed in Unionville, yesterday morning.
According to Police Chief Armand La Barge, Const. Robert Plunkett, a 43-year-old father of three, approached the driver of a stolen Honda on a quiet residential street when the car suddenly reversed.
Plunkett, pinned between the car's open door and a tree, could not get away and was dragged onto a nearby lawn, where he was left with serious injuries.
Plunkett died in hospital soon after the incident, which occurred shortly before 6 a.m.
Nadeem Jiwah, 19, has been charged with manslaughter, but police say more charges are pending.
A second man, 23-year-old Baseer Yousafzai, has been charged with theft and breach of bail.
