A Quebec provincial police officer was arrested at Montreal's Trudeau airport on Thursday. It was the fourth time this officer has been arrested in less than a year.

Nicolas Landry was charged Friday in a Saint-Hyacinthe court with assault and breaking bail conditions.

Landry, a 15-year veteran of the Sûreté du Québec, was charged also in May with assault with a weapon, confinement, mischief, harassment and robbery.

Before that, in December 2015, he was charged with impersonating a peace officer and obstructing a peace officer.

In August 2015, he was charged with fraud over $5,000 after he allegedly submitted false information to his employer in order to extend a sick leave.

During his court appearance on Friday, Landry pleaded guilty to nearly all the charges he was facing. The allegations of confinement and obstruction were dropped.

He was given a 19-day prison sentence. Taking into account time already served, he will spend 16 days in prison, followed by a two-year probation period.

His salary will be suspended while in prison. It will be docked by half when he is released.

​Landry still faces the fraud charges from August 2015, to which he has pleaded not guilty. A preliminary inquiry in that case is scheduled for 2018.
