Cop sacked for taking booze into dry town

A Queensland police officer has been sacked for allegedly taking large amounts of booze into a community subject to alcohol restrictions.

It's also alleged the senior sergeant let a civilian use part of his police kit, and dishonestly used property.

Police media did not identify the 44-year-old officer and would not name the central region community concerned.

They also could not confirm which part of the officer's kit had been used by the civilian.

There were no details available about any criminal charges the officer might face.

Another timeless example of a 'crooked cop'. Although petty, none the less a criminal.

Notice how "There were no details available about any criminal charges the officer might face".
