Sdd,
Look at the issue from the management point of view.....Employee will always behave like employee, he will have 100s of reasons to justify his mistakes. So what if serves 17 yrs or 100 yrs, it doesn't mean he can spoil the work place. Go for strict action as per your company HR policy.
if you show mercy you cannot be manager. Rules applicable irrespective of anyone with any position holding with company.
1. Get co-workers opinion on him.
2. Warn him with written letter and if he apologize get the same in written.
3. If he continue again....Issue him a termination letter with notice period(optional)
Keep all the supportive documents and proofs for his misbehaviourial attitude inside office premises.
Regards,
Suresh
