A British Columbia RCMP officer has been ordered to resign from the force after a conduct board found he operated a vehicle while intoxicated and pointed a handgun at two civilians.

Const. Olavo Castro, who was posted at the Williams Lake detachment in B.C., was found to have contravened the RCMP Code of Conduct in the board’s decision, which was published online this week.
