She faces a charge of criminal harassment.
The picture she snapped is a graffiti drawing of Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere, a longtime Montreal police spokesman and one of the most visible faces of the force.
Pawluck did not draw the graffiti, which has been removed from an east-end Montreal neighbourhood.

- Oshawa man given life sentence for 2024 double murder of upstairs neighbour and her ex-husband
- RCMP investigating Alberta health procurement for possible fraud, money laundering
- Manhunt underway for convicted murderer who escaped from Tennessee prison
Montreal police say the picture alone is not the reason for the charge and they’re keeping mum on other evidence to be presented in court.
They have not identified Pawluck, but she took to social media herself to make the case public.
She is due in court April 17.
