On the day of his sentencing hearing for obstruction of justice in the death of a motorcyclist, disgraced Mountie Monty Robinson quits his job.
RCMP Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens has made no bones about it, he wanted Robinson fired.
And while Callens did not get his exact wish, it’s close.
Robinson put in his resignation papers, and Friday morning, Callens signed his discharge documents.
In a statement, Callens says the “opportunity to discharge” Robinson “eliminate[s] further delays, costs and uncertainty.”
Since he is no longer an RCMP officer, Robinson does not have to go through any disciplinary actions under the RCMP Act.
Other than the statement, the RCMP are not commenting further on this matter.
