Firefighter in Uniform Breaks Protection Order | Winnipeg News

A Winnipeg firefighter, Christopher Goethals, was arrested while on duty for violating a protection order—driving a city vehicle in uniform, just 200 meters from a protected person. Mayor Scott Gillingham insists the city takes conduct seriously, but Councilwoman Sherri Rollins, a survivor of stalking, blasts the administration for failing to hold him accountable, especially after two prior arrests for harassment. She warns this undermines public safety and disproportionately endangers women. Goethals, with a history of criminal harassment and home invasions, remains jailed pending court on July 31st, while his union insists his actions don’t reflect the broader membership.
