After some heavy drinking, three Gainesville cops late last year decided to cruise through a high-crime area and “harass the prostitutes and drug dealers.”
The November incident wasn’t the first, but it was the last because they were pulled over by the on-duty officer and asked to leave the area. Now they’ve been formally warned to not do it again, according to gainesville.com.
After 2 a.m. on Nov. 9, they acquired four cartons of eggs and drove through a neighborhood throwing eggs out of their truck.
According to the investigative report, a woman who is not a law enforcement officer was driving the truck. The report says the woman, as “the least intoxicated,” had offered to drive. All four officers (a University of Florida officer also was involved) acknowledged “consuming copious amounts of alcohol,” the report states.
