A Kelowna cop charged in relation to a violent wellness check will plead not guilty to assault.
const. Lacy Browning was charged with one count of assault after a video was released showing footage of an RCMP officer, later identified as Browning, dragging then UBC Okanagan student Mona Wang down a hallway and treating her roughly during a wellness check.
