Iqaluit cop reported charges
himself
David Aglukark, 30, received
a six-month conditional discharge after pleading guilty to assaulting his spouse
on July 17, 2002.
The couple started arguing
after an evening at a friends house, the court heard.
"[Aglukark] lost his
temper, grabbed her face, pushed her against the wall and kicked her once,"
Crown lawyer Kevin Drolet told Nunatsiaq News after sentencing.
Alcohol was a factor in
the attack, Drolet said.
Drolet said mitigating
factors in the case were that Aglukark reported the assault to the RCMP, and
he has since undergone a 45-day substance abuse treatment program.
If Aglukark adheres to
the condition of his sentence, he will have no criminal record.
Aglukark was assigned to
administrative duties while the case was before the courts. Staff-Sgt. Mike
Jeffrey said Aglukark is back to "full duties."
