But criminal - not disciplinary - charges are pending for the off duty cops who refused to pay for a Chicken Chow Mein at New Asia restaurant, and then pulled out a weapon on the security guard, the patrons, and the owners - making them outlaw malpagos.
Today, ACP Williams reviewed their case and said only one of them was in the GREAT program:
ACP Chester Williams
"There was only one officer who is part of the GREAT program who was a part of that and that is the Corporal, Corporal Parham. From investigations that have been conducted it revealed that on Tuesday night, the officer went to New Asia and ordered food. Having obtained the food there was a dispute because the officers failed to pay and during the dispute it is alleged that the Corporal took out a firearm and wield it in the direction of the proprietors of the restaurant and a female who was nearby. We have obtained statements from the female but the proprietors of the New Asia restaurant are not cooperating. So, based on the statements of the lady, as well as that of another officer who was present what that occurred, we are levying criminal charges against Cpl. Parham for aggravated assault as well as for discharging a firearm in public. One of the constable, who Corporal, I think, John Galvez, he will be charged disciplinary for act of prejudice to good order and discipline. The other officer we have nothing against him so he'll be released."
