Crown is asking for a six- to 12-month suspended sentence and anger management counselling for Const. Deepak Sood.
The defence, meanwhile, is asking for a 12-month conditional discharge.

He asked for the dresser to be picked up right away; things escalated when he was told a truck wouldn’t be available for two days.
A provincial court judge found him guilty for making threats to cause harm.
Sood remains on active duty and is set to be sentenced at the end of the month.
