There is much ironic reading in the court documents detailing Alan Mullen’s interrupted career in casino security.

Mullen was hired as an adviser by Speaker Darryl Plecas in January, partly to investigate Craig James, the B.C. legislature’s clerk, and Gary Lenz, the sergeant-at-arms, who were suspended last week during a mysterious RCMP investigation.

James and Lenz were marched out of the stately building by police, an experience the two men called “humiliating.”

Mullen, who marched beside police during the perp walk as TV cameras rolled, apparently knows how the two men feel.

Court documents reveal Mullen sued Great Canadian Casinos for wrongful dismissal in 2007 after he was fired as a security manager, an experience Mullen called “callous, abrupt and humiliating.”

The casino company fought back, arguing Mullen was suspended for four days without pay for “intoxication in the workplace” and later fired for cause. Mullen has refused to comment on the case, which was either dropped or settled out of court, the documents indicate.
