A third person has filed a civil lawsuit against Kelowna Mountie Lacey Browning, accusing the constable of assaulting and threatening him in front of his five-year-old son.

Browning is currently the subject of a high-profile criminal investigation into a wellness check at UBC Okanagan in January, in which she was seen dragging nursing student Mona Wang down a hallway at her residence and stepping on her head. Wang is currently suing Browning, the Attorney General of Canada, and the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor in relation to the incident.

A second woman filed a suit against Browning shortly after Wang91裸聊视频檚 story made national news. Fiona Read alleges Browning assaulted her after she sought help from the officer while walking home from a party in the early morning hours of New Year91裸聊视频檚 Day 2016.

Now, a third person has come forward, also making allegations against Browning.

In a notice of claim filed on Sept. 10, Cole Charles Vasko alleges Browning threw him to the ground, struck him in the face and threatened him with pepper spray and a taser 91裸聊视频� all while his young son looked on.

Vasko claims he and his son were walking home around midnight after visiting a friend91裸聊视频檚 house on March 9, 2019. During their walk, Vasko had a brief altercation with a passing motorist who almost hit him and his son. That motorist, unbeknownst to Vasko, called the police making allegations against him, causing a response.

Browning was one of the officers who attended the scene. Without warning, the suit alleges, she grabbed Vasko from behind and threw him to the ground.

91裸聊视频淭he plaintiff did not see or notice police. If there were lights on, he was not aware and he heard no sirens,91裸聊视频� the claim reads. 91裸聊视频淔urthermore, there was no request made for him to stop.91裸聊视频�

When Browning had Vasko pinned to the ground, she identified herself but neither she nor her colleagues explained why he was being apprehended.

Further, Vasko alleges he was taken to the detachment, dragged out of the RCMP cruiser and dropped on his face, causing further damage and bleeding. His arm was twisted behind his back until he 91裸聊视频渃ould feel the ligaments in his elbow begin to tear.91裸聊视频�

The suit claims Vasko was held at the detachment for more than 10 hours before he was released without being charged. During that time, he was not advised why he was being held, breaching his charter rights.

Four months later, Vasko was charged with resisting arrest, assault and disturbing the peace 91裸聊视频� charges which were later stayed by the Crown in December 2019. The suit alleges Browning only charged Vasko in an attempt to cover up her assault against him.

The suit calls the actions of Browning and the RCMP reckless, arrogant, high-handed and abusive, and claims they show a 91裸聊视频渃allous disregard for the plaintiff91裸聊视频檚 rights.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淏rowning and the RCMP have engaged in conduct that is reprehensible and deserves punishment,91裸聊视频� stated the lawsuit.

Alongside Browning, the lawsuit also names the Attorney General of Canada and B.C. Minister of Public Safety. None of the defendants have filed a response and the claims have not yet been tested in court.
