Oct 31, 2019 | 7:16 AM

A former Calgary police detective has been sentenced to three years in prison for his role in a campaign of harassment against a mother during a bitter child custody dispute.

Steve Walton ran a private investigation firm with his wife Heather, who was given a 15-month conditional sentence to be served in the community.

Their firm was hired by wealthy Calgary businessman Ken Carter to dig up information and follow his ex, Akele Taylor.

The Waltons then hired police officers to access internal Calgary police databases and to stalk and harass Taylor.

Steve Walton was found guilty of criminal harassment, bribing an officer and improper storage of a firearm and Heather Walton was convicted of bribery and improper firearm storage.
