Norfolk (UK) Cop Trips Over Curb, Sues Owner Of Curb
A police officer is suing a petrol station owner after apparently tripping on a kerb on his property when called to reports of a suspected break-in.
PC Kelly Jones, 33, says she injured her leg and wrist at the filling station in Thetford, Norfolk, on 25 August last year.
She was not available for comment. Petrol station owner Steve Jones said he found the case "shocking".
Police said the claim appeared to be "instigated privately" by the officer.
Mr Jones said PC Jones tripped and fell and that he helped her up, but did not think she was hurt.
