Ex-Burnaby RCMP Const. Alessandro Sponza quit last month amid allegations he had violated the RCMP's code of conduct.
A Burnaby Mountie who quit last month amid misconduct allegations spent more time on paid leave than working during his five-year RCMP career.
Before any evidence or details of the allegations could be presented at the hearing, however, Sponza quit. On Oct. 8, however, Kevin Harrison, a conduct hearing officer appointed to hear the case, announced the RCMP had accepted Sponza's discharge request. Sponza's resignation was effective Sept. 27, according to B.C. RCMP media relations officer Staff Sgt. Kris Clark.
