In November, Reeves agreed to sign a peace bond — a court order requiring someone to be on good behavior for a set period of time — and all of the charges were withdrawn.

The Crown had read allegations in court that described a double life in which Reeves carried on a relationship with one woman while being married to the mother of his son.

Reeves and the other woman started dating in 2015, when he told her he was a construction worker, later confiding he was a police officer, the court heard.

Reeves, who was using cocaine at the time, moved in with the woman and proposed. In October 2016, Reeves’s wife and his mother showed up at the house and confronted Reeves and the woman, the court heard.

Reeves and woman broke up, but he continued to call and text her for a year, sending more than 20,000 text messages, the Crown alleged.

The woman feared for her safety and damage to her property, court heard. The peace bond prohibits Reeves from associating or communicating with her for one year.

Lawyer Nick Cake, who represented Reeves in the criminal case, said his client didn’t respond to any of the allegations.

Cake did, however, acknowledge in court that Reeves improperly used the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC), a country-wide database for law enforcement agencies.

The allegations read in court said Reeves used it 11 times to look up the woman and check the licence plate of her friend.

In February 2018, Reeves forfeited 24 hours of pay after pleading guilty to neglect of duty under the PSA. He’d been assigned to answer the phone in the police headquarters reception unit on Jan. 31, 2017 — after he failed to pass his annual firearms re-qualification — when he erroneously told a commanding officer the unit didn’t need him and requested permission to leave early in his shift. A second charge of deceit was withdrawn.
