Const. Harinder Sohi confirmed Owens is accused of assaulting a woman in a domestic-related incident but wouldn’t get in to specifics about the relationship between the two.

Over nine CFL seasons with the Montreal Alouettes, Argonauts, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Saskatchewan Roughriders, Owens has 521 receptions for 6,217 yards and 27 touchdowns. The three-time CFL all-star has 10 career return touchdowns.
