On Friday, June 21, 2024, police observed a Dodge Challenger with an expired license plate and a traffic stop was conducted. The 52-year-old male driver became aggressive and was placed under arrest. Subsequent to the arrest, a further physical struggle ensued, and the driver suffered minor injuries. Paramedics attended the scene to treat and assess the driver, though he did not require transport to hospital.
The incident was investigated by the EPS Professional Standards Branch (PSB) and the case was referred to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Services in Calgary to determine if criminal charges were warranted. Prosecutors recommended that the EPS officer be charged with assault.
On Thursday, August 14, 2025, the EPS Professional Standards Branch (PSB) charged Const. Mohamed Elgendy with one count of assault in relation to his actions at the traffic stop.
Const. Elgendy has just under three years of service with the EPS and will be placed in a non-operational role.
As the matter is currently before the courts, the EPS is not able to provide further comment or information about this investigation.
