Cop who allegedly pulled gun at hotel to be questioned

The cop who was arrested after allegedly pointing his service weapon at persons at a St Ann hotel last Friday has been transferred into the custody of the Major Investigations Task Force (MIT), where he is expected to be questioned.

The policeman, who is attached at MIT, was in custody at the Runaway Bay Police Station since the alleged incident. Head of the police's Corporate Communications Unit, Senior Superintendent Stephanie Lindsay, confirmed that the cop had been transferred to the MIT.

Allegations are that the cop was at the hotel and after consuming alcoholic beverages he became intoxicated and began behaving inappropriately.

It is further alleged that he was confronted by a security guard and other persons and he reportedly pulled his weapon and pointed the gun at them.

He was, however, disarmed and the police called in. On their arrival, the gun was handed over to the cops and the policeman was taken into custody.
