SCO Grand Chief Jerry Daniels hospitalized after Ottawa disturbance – Winnipeg [Video]

Grand Chief Jerry Daniels of the Southern Chiefs Organization (SCO) was sent to hospital after an incident in Ottawa earlier this week.

Multiple sources who spoke with Global News, said Daniels was involved in an altercation Tuesday against three councilors from Lake St. Martin First Nation, a community three hours north of Winnipeg.

When asked about being called to an Ottawa bar involving the grand chief, Ottawa Police Service spokesperson Julie Kavanagh confirmed officers were called to the 100 block of York Street in the nation’s capital at 2:30 a.m. for a “disturbance” and transported a man — who they will not identify — to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Kavanagh says the investigation continues and no charges have been laid.

A woman at the Lake St. Martin band office said they have no comment about the matter.
