From ABC News
A Wyoming teenager is suing an off-duty officer from Colorado who pulled a gun on him as he ran to a bus stop in Jackson.
The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports 18-year-old Gerardo Becerra filed claims of assault, battery and false imprisonment against Vanessa Schultz in a Wyoming court.
Schultz is a police officer in Colorado and was on vacation when she heard a loud noise and assumed a teenager running nearby had committed a crime. Becerra was running to catch a bus.
The lawsuit claims Schultz detained Becerra, threatened to shoot him and was "exhilarated" when police arrived.
A special prosecutor concluded Schultz shouldn't have pulled her gun, but criminal charges weren't warranted.
COMMENT:-
Someone's college fund is going to get a boost here. It would be interesting to see what sort of insurance coverage Ms. Schultz' police department has with respect to "off duty conduct in a law enforcement setting".
