- Teboul faced more serious charges initially before pleading to one count.
RCMP Assistant Commissioner David Teboul pleaded guilty to assault on October 28, 2026. The charge stems from an off-duty altercation that took place in July 2025. Teboul was initially facing more serious allegations, including assault causing bodily harm by choking, suffocating, or strangling involving two individuals protected by a publication ban.
His trial was set to commence this week, but the scheduled dates were vacated following his guilty plea. The B.C. Prosecution Service had appointed a special prosecutor, Andi MacKay, in August of last year to handle the investigation due to Teboul's senior rank within the RCMP, ensuring no perceived improper influence in the administration of justice.
