An Ottawa police officer will be demoted to First-Class Constable for 90 days after pleading guilty to using excessive force on an aggressive suspect last summer.
Sergeant Steven Desjourdy kicked then Tasered a woman in her jail cell as officers struggled to get control of her.
She spat on officers and struggled to get away from them.
Police arrested the woman on a charge of public intoxication as she was begging for cash outside the LCBO on Rideau Street on September 2nd.
