Friday, June 19, 2026 -A Canadian RCMP police officer has been arrested for allegedly threatening President Donald Trump online.
In a statement, the RCMP Federal Policing Eastern Region
announced Evenson Dumerlus, 34, of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que, was arrested
after allegedly posting a video on his Snapchat account in which he made
threatening comments toward Trump.
Authorities say the alleged video was taken while the
officer was deployed on G7 security operations last summer. Trump attended the
G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alta., which took place from June 15-17, 2025.
The investigation was taken over by the Special
Investigations Unit after an RCMP officer reported the video. After reviewing
the evidence, investigators acted quickly, and Dumerlus was removed from his
duties on the same day as the incident, the statement says.
Dumerlus is facing a charge of uttering threats and is
expected to appear on July 30 at the St-Jean-sur-Richelieu courthouse.
“The RCMP takes seriously any threats that can affect one’s
sense of security,” the statement says. “Violent statements will not be
tolerated.”
The RCMP encourages the public to report such activities to
the police.
Joe Routh, a spokesperson for the U.S. Secret Service, told
CBC the agency is aware of the social media post allegedly made by the police
officer, but "out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss
matters of protective intelligence."
