ABBOTSFORD BRITISH COLUMBIA — RCMP Assistant Commissioner David Teboul has pleaded guilty to assault after an off-duty altercation in Abbotsford in July 2025.
The plea on the single charge comes more than a year after he was charged with two counts of assault and one count of assault causing bodily harm by choking, suffocating or strangling involving two people, whose names are protected by a publication ban.

His trial was set to begin on Tuesday, but the dates were vacated pending today’s appearance at Abbotsford courthouse.
The BC Prosecution Service had appointed Andi MacKay as a special prosecutor in August last year as the Abbotsford Police Department investigated allegations against the officer.
Teboul was charged about a month later.
The prosecution service has said special prosecutors are appointed “to avoid any potential for real or perceived improper influence in the administration of justice” given the nature of the allegations and Teboul’s senior position of authority.
