Police officers' response to an agitated man being held in a Long Plain cell was reasonable, even though their actions caused a facial fracture, the Manitoba Independent Investigation Unit says.

The Manitoba police watchdog has closed its investigation into in-custody use of force on Jan. 24, 2024, in Long Plain First Nation, about 100 kilometres west of Winnipeg, the unit said in a news release Wednesday.
