An RCMP officer has been charged after posting threatening comments toward U.S. President Donald Trump on his Snapchat account while working security during the 2025 G7 Summit in Alberta.
Evenson Dumerlus, 34, of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, allegedly posted the video while on duty. An RCMP officer reported the video, triggering an investigation by the Special Investigations Unit.
Dumerlus was removed from his duties the same day as the incident. He now faces a single count of uttering threats and will appear in court in Quebec on July 30, 2026.
The RCMP said in a statement that it "takes seriously any threats that can affect one's sense of security" and that "violent statements will not be tolerated. Perpetrators may face criminal charges involving significant sentences."
