Sentencing has been set for May 29th for a Kelowna RCMP officer who pleaded guilty to assaulting a nursing student during a wellness check in early 2020.
Constable Lacy Browning pleaded guilty to one count of assault on what was supposed to be the first day of her trial a week ago.
Surveillance video released as part of a civil suit that has been settled showed Browning dragging UBC student Mona Wang by the arms face down along a carpeted hallway and then stepping on her head in the lobby of her apartment building.
A Gladue report, which a Canadian court can request when considering the sentencing of an offender of Indigenous descent, is to be prepared as part of proceedings.
