Kelowna woman sues RCMP officer alleging assault during wellness check
Wang contends she was handcuffed and dragged through the apartment on her stomach, causing injury to her face, upper thigh, breast, sternum, and torso, according to the civil suit, filed in a Kelowna court in March.The suit also names the government bodies responsible for the Mounties, including Canada’s attorney general and B.C.’s minister of public safety and solicitor general.
Wang alleges that Browning never identified herself as an RCMP officer and kicked her on the floor and stepped on her arm while she was semiconscious. Browning was initially unable to access the residence and made multiple attempts to contact Wang by the intercom system. Browning was permitted access to the building by another resident, according to the statement.
At all times, they contend she was “combative and possibly in possession of a further weapon” and that Browning believed paramedics would not attend until a combative patient is secured by police.
