A Mountie who responded the night a Polish immigrant died at Vancouver's airport has filed a lawsuit against the RCMP alleging negligence and harassment.

Const. Bill Bentley has filed a notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court naming the Attorney General of Canada and B.C.'s Ministry of Justice as defendants.

Bentley was one of four officers who confronted Robert Dziekanski at the airport in October 2007, when the man was stunned with a Taser and died.

The court documents allege the RCMP mismanaged information in the case, creating public perception of wrongdoing by the officers, and that Bentley was made a "scapegoat" for public criticism.

All four officers were charged with perjury for allegedly colluding and giving false testimony at a subsequent public inquiry into Dziekanski's death, and Bentley was found not guilty.

Allegations in the documents have not been proven in court and statements of defence have not been filed.
