Irate Tennessee cop pulls gun on homeowners for sheltering his runaway wife and children
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/04/irate-tennessee-cop-pulls-gun-on-homeowners-for-sheltering-his-runaway-wife-and-children/A Tennessee police officer was relieved of duty and charged with assault after authorities said that he threatened to shoot his wife’s car, and assault the owners of a home where she was staying.
According to The Commercial Appeal, an arrest affidavit said that 35-year-old Memphis Officer Benjaman Fulcher was intoxicated when he went to the home where his wife and children were staying on Monday night. The affidavit stated that Fulcher banged on windows and demanded that his wife and children come outside.
After the woman who lived at the home came outside and asked Fulcher to leave, he reportedly placed his hand on his pistol. When the woman’s boyfriend came outside, he observed Fulcher remove his pistol and point it at the wife’s car.
At that point, the officer threatened to shoot his wife’s car if she did not come home, the arrest report said.
