The appellant police officer appealed his conviction and penalty of dismissal from the force for discreditable conduct.
The charge arose from an off-duty incident where the appellant, while intoxicated and bearing a black eye, attempted to cash a post-dated police cheque at a bank, used profanity when refused, and attempted to rip up the cheque.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission found no error in the original hearing or the subsequent appeal to the Board of Commissioners of Police.
Given the incident and the appellant's long list of previous offences, the Commission affirmed the conviction and the penalty of dismissal.
