COMPOL Bullish On Crooked Tree Dust-Up
posted (May 14, 2014)

And finally from Commissioner Whylie tonight, the media tried to ask him about a misunderstanding he'd had on Crooked Tree on Holy Saturday with a police constable.  Credible reports to 7News tell us that Whylie had an exchange of words with PC Ogaldez, which is when one of Whylie's relatives allegedly broke a pint over Ogaldez's head.  Whylie then put Ogaldez under arrest.   It's a public incident and an embarrassing one, and today Whylie didn't want to talk about it:

Hipolito Novelo - Love News
"There was a scuffle between you and some officer in Crooked Tree.

Jules Vasquez
"A misunderstanding where you had to arrest the officer who is now transferred."

Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"I have nothing to say in respect of that matter. What was done is done; it was an internal matter, and it was dealt with. I have nothing to say about that."

Hipolito Novelo
"But it was in public."

Allen Whylie
"I have nothing to say about that. You do your own investigation." 

Ogaldez was transferred from Crooked Tree to Ladyville immediately.
