by A suspended Cape Breton Regional Police officer has been found guilty of assaulting his wife.
Kristopher Karl Planetta’s trial on two counts of assault wrapped up earlier this month.
A judge found him guilty on both counts today.
Planetta’s estranged wife testified during the trial her husband pushed her on one occasion and bruised her arms on another.
