New Mexico State Police officers arrested Alamogordo Police Officer Warren Whittington Monday after Whittington allegedly pointed a handgun at two Aaron’s Rental Center employees while the officer was off-duty at his home. The Aaron’s employees were there to recover a laptop computer leased to another person believed to be a resident of the house. Whittington is charged with two counts of fourth-degree felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
US Capitol Police have suspended a sergeant in the Capitol division, allegedly in retribution for a leak related to Roll Call’s report of three recent incidents in which officers left loaded guns in problematic places, such as the bathroom.
It is unclear if disciplinary decisions have been made for the officers who left their guns in the bathrooms on Jan. 29, while protecting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., or on March 24, while protecting Speaker John A. Boehner. I guess they’re too busy with disciplining those who spoke about it.
