B.C. RCMP officer didn’t apologize to insulted colleague as claimed, lawyer says

A British Columbia Mountie who made derogatory comments about a female colleague’s weight testified this week that he apologized to her and they “laughed it off,” but an RCMP lawyer said Tuesday that the officer “outright lied.”Constables Ian Solven, Mersad Mesbah and Philip Dick, all stationed at the Coquitlam RCMP detachment, are facing possible dismissal over alleged discreditable conduct and workplace harassment for comments made in private group chats and on police data terminals.Their RCMP code of conduct hearing involving the officers started last month in Surrey, B.C.
