N.S. police watchdog investigating domestic assault allegation against Mountie

SYDNEY — A Cape Breton RCMP officer has been charged with uttering a threat after an investigation by the province’s Serious Incident Response Team.
Staff Sgt. Nelson Salter, 52, of Stoneybrook Lane, Sydney River, is alleged to have uttered a threat to cause death or bodily harm on July 3 in Sydney River.
He is now scheduled to enter a plea on the charge Sept. 17.
The RCMP-Northeast Nova District was contacted by a female claiming she had been assaulted and threatened by her husband, a member of the RCMP.
The RCMP referred the matter to SiRT as it is responsible to investigate all serious incidents involving police in Nova Scotia, whether or not there is an allegation of wrongdoing. The agency will also investigate complaints against police by members of the public.
The agency formally filed a charge against Nelson this week in provincial court in Sydney.
