A former RCMP spokeswoman for the Mission detachment has been charged with assaulting two fellow police officers outside a country bar in Pitt Meadows two months ago.
Sgt. Miriam Dickson was arrested at 2 a.m. outside Rooster’s Country Cabaret after allegedly brawling with two uniformed Mounties who tried to intervene in an argument she was having with a male bar patron.
Insp. Richard Konarski of the Mission RCMP issued a statement Thursday saying an internal Code of Conduct investigation has been launched.
“Obviously I am disappointed with this alleged behaviour,” Konarski said. “[Dickson] is currently assigned to administrative duties.”
Dickson, who has also been charged with resisting arrest and causing a disturbance, was off-duty at the time of the alleged fight. The officer gained recognition winning the women's bodybuilding competition at the World Police and Fire Games three years ago.
She is due to appear in Port Coquitlam court on Aug. 20.
