A Kelowna RCMP officer who dragged a nursing student down a hallway, pulled her hair and stepped on her head during a wellness check was handed a two-year conditional discharge in B.C. provincial court this week.
During the sentencing hearing, the court heard that Browning was suffering from an accumulation of stress from her job as a police officer at the time of the assault and that she was struggling with compassion fatigue.
Browning experienced poverty and physical, sexual and emotional abuse as a child, Dickey said, along with normalization of substance abuse and violence. The assault on Wang was out of character, according to letters of support from friends and colleagues, Dickey said. The two-year conditional discharge Dickey sentenced Browning to means she will not serve jail time for the assault and will not have a criminal record if she keeps the peace and follows the conditions of her sentence.In a written statement to CBC News, Wang expressed disappointment in the sentence after waiting three years for the conclusion of the criminal matter.
