From the Daily Mail:
They had purchased a .22-caliber rifle earlier that day and had a receipt for the weapon. They were finally let go after showing the deputy the receipt. It's not the first time the Sergeant has had a brush with the law he is supposed to uphold. In 1999, the town of Wilton, Saratoga County paid $6 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of a 45-year-old man left paralyzed when a patrol car being driven by Glans smashed head-on into the other car. Douglas H. McEachron suffered critical brain injuries and a federal jury found Glans was negligent in the crash. The deputy was responding to a 911 call and driving close to three times the posted speed limit around a sharp curve on Smith Bridge Road in Wilton when he lost control of his vehicle. Glans crossed into the oncoming lane and smashed head-on into McEachron's car.
He should have been fired after crippling the man in the auto crash he caused. What is the matter with departments who let these hot heads stay on their jobs after proving themselves unfit?
