WINNIPEG - Two RCMP officers have been charged with assaulting a 19-year-old Powerview-area resident.

The assault allegedly happened when the officers were transporting the man from Traverse Bay to the Lac du Bonnet Detachment on Oct. 24, 2008.

Earlier this month, Manitoba Justice formally notified RCMP D Division that charges of assault were recommended against the two officers. They were charged Tuesday.

Cpl. Jeffrey Thomas Moyse, 40, and Const. Trevor Kyle Ens, 29, will appear in Pine Falls Provincial Court on Feb. 25.

An internal disciplinary process has been initiated, RCMP said in a news release. Both members have since been transferred from Powerview Detachment to other units in D Division, which includes 52 detachments in Manitoba.
