BOWLING GREEN - A Bowling Green police officer who improperly tagged a deer he had shot, then lied about it, has been suspended for 30 working days and removed from the Wood County Special Response Team.

Mayor John Quinn issued the suspension to Kristopher Garman, 29, a police officer with the city since February, 2002. He was served with the mayor's decision Wednesday night.

Police staff caught in free tr

MET police staff have been caught using their passes illegally to avoid paying for train travel.
An internal e-mail seen by the Evening Standard warns staff that such action is a criminal offence and will result in prosecution and dismissal. Police officers are entitled to free travel and can show their warrant card if asked.
However, the police staff passes are similar to the warrant cards and have been misused by other people who work for the force.
The racket was discovered after a series of exercises involving Railway Revenue Inspectors and British Transport Police (BTP).
A spokesman for the BTP said officers contacted the professional standards department at the Met.
Scotland Yard has confirmed that they had been alerted to the issue.
A spokeswoman said: “We expect our staff to behave professionally, ethically and with the utmost integrity at all times. Any allegations of misconduct are taken extremely seriously and dealt with appropriately.
“If any member of the Met staff is found guilty of such an offence they are likely to be dismissed.”
The spokeswoman said there were no plans to change the staff identity card to look less like the warrant card.
The maximum penalty for fare evasion is £1,000 or a three-month prison sentence.
