A former senior cop could be in trouble with the law, after it is alleged that he assaulted and wounded a police officer at the Cross Roads Police Station yesterday.

The former policeman served the force for over 30 years and is now employed to another organisation.

Reports reaching THE WEEKEND STAR are that sometime after 2:30 p.m., an officer and a colleague were at the station when the accused man entered and demanded the use of the room to conduct a transaction. The officers reportedly told him that the room was being occupied as they were both having lunch and provided the ex-cop with a chair.

It is further alleged that the man was not satisfied with that arrangement and proceeded to chase another policeman from a room on the compound. The officer, THE WEEKEND STAR was told, went to the room and informed the ex-cop that he had to leave the room as it was being used by the policeman. Reports say the ex-cop refused to leave and began behaving boisterously.

cautioned

The officer reportedly cautioned the ex-cop and told him he would be arrested for failing to move and keep on moving. Reports say the officer was pushed by the former cop, who resisted arrest, causing the handcuffs to slice the policeman's hand in the process.

THE WEEKEND STAR was told that the former cop was not arrested, but a report of resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and unlawful wounding, was made against him.

Police from the Cross Roads station say the matter is being investigated by senior officers there as well as the inspectorate of the constabulary.
