Aboriginal actor's complaint a
Saskatchewan's police complaints investigator has dismissed a Toronto actor's accusation that he was a victim of racial profiling.
The investigator's office said Wednesday that while Gregory Odjig may have been inconvenienced one Sunday morning last fall, the officers who confronted and handcuffed him were not acting improperly.
Odjig was in Saskatoon for a project with the Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company.
Police looking for an assault suspect saw him leaving a convenience store and rushing down a sidewalk on the day in question.
All of a sudden, Odjig told reporters at the time, a police cruiser came to a stop directly in front of him.
"I had to stop myself from sliding under the car and I was like, 'What the hell? What's going on?'"
Odjig said he was handcuffed and put in the back of the police cruiser while his identification was checked.
He later held a news conference where he accused officers of detaining him because he is aboriginal.
Around the time of the incident, the Saskatoon police service was trying to improve relations with the aboriginal community.
After the complaints commissioner dismissed Odjig's complaint Wednesday, the theatre company issued a written statement thanking police for responding to his concerns and submitting the matter for investigation.
The company called it a "step towards opening the lines of communication."
Odjig wasn't immediately available for comment.
