A Burnaby Mountie has been docked pay after he used vulgar language toward a woman while the two argued over a parking spot.
Constable Harinder Paul Pabla was off-duty in 2011 when a woman took a parking spot he was aiming for at the Willowbrook Mall in Langley.
The two got into a heated argument, the woman often swearing.
According to an RCMP disciplinary decision, Pabla called her a “dirty slut” and used other sexually explicit language.
The woman kicked him and bashed him with her purse.
A judge later found her to have assaulted Pabla.
But an RCMP adjudicator says he should have handled the situation differently as a 16-year police officer, using such language.
He has been reprimanded and ordered to forfeit six days’ pay.
