Have you discussed this with HR? You need to follow their lead.

Hopefully HR will support your formal progressive disciplinary action of this employee. Of course if HR does not discipline employees you can not single out one employee. That would be discrimination.

Good luck and follow either HR or your own immediate supervisors suggestion and be consistent and equal with disciplinary action.
