Quebec RCMP Officer Arrested for Allegedly Threatening Trump Online

Based on coverage from CBC, Global News, CP24, Montreal Gazette, Sudbury.com, and Weekly Voice.

A Quebec-based RCMP officer has been arrested and charged after allegedly posting a Snapchat video with threatening comments aimed at U.S. President Donald Trump, according to the RCMP.

The force says the officer, Evenson Dumerlus, 34, of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, was deployed on G7 security operations at the time of the alleged post. The allegations have not been proven in court, and Dumerlus is presumed innocent.

Quebec RCMP officer charged over Snapchat video

The RCMP Federal Policing Eastern Region says Dumerlus faces one count of uttering threats. Police have not described the specific wording of the alleged threats, saying only that the video included “threatening comments” directed at Trump.

Several reports describe the alleged post as a Snapchat video. The Mounties say he was arrested and removed from his duties the same day as the incident.

G7 security deployment in Kananaskis, Alberta

The RCMP says the alleged events happened during G7-related security operations connected to the summit in Kananaskis, Alta. Multiple outlets place the timing in June 2025.

Sources generally agree the summit ran June 15 to 17, 2025, and that Trump attended. One report refers to the officer being deployed on “G7 security operations,” while others more specifically describe him as part of the security team during the summit.

Special Investigations Unit took over investigation

According to the RCMP, the investigation was triggered when another RCMP officer reported the video. The file was then taken over by the RCMP’s Special Investigations Unit, which handles criminal allegations involving RCMP employees in Quebec.

The RCMP says investigators reviewed the evidence and moved quickly. The force also says Dumerlus was taken off duty immediately, on the same day the video was allegedly posted.

What the RCMP is saying publicly

In its statement, the RCMP says it takes threats seriously because they can affect a person’s sense of security. The force adds that “violent statements will not be tolerated,” and warns that people who make threats can face criminal charges and significant sentences.

The RCMP is also urging the public to report threatening online activity to police. One version of the reporting adds that tips can be made to the RCMP, the National Security Information Network, or local police, though the core message across reports is the same: report threats when you see them.
