The Dallas Police Department is asking the district attorney’s office to prosecute two officers accused of holding Dallas country music singer Steve Holy and a friend at gunpoint in a Dec. 27 incident...
...An attorney representing Mr. Holy has said that the singer had taken time off from his tour for the holidays on Dec. 27 when he and a friend went to a Greenville Avenue bar not far from his house. At the bar, Mr. Holy saw an off-duty Dallas officer he knew, and that officer introduced him to two other off-duty officers, now identified as Officers Anderson and Loughridge.
...Officer Anderson began climbing the stairs, yelling at Mr. Holy’s wife. As his wife stood at the top of the stairs, Mr. Holy tried to get up, but Officer Anderson yelled at him to “ ‘get the [expletive] down’ and pointed his gun at him again,” the records state.
...He came back down the staircase “with the gun no longer in his hand and stated to the Complainant [that] he would kill him if he said anything about the incident.” He also told Mr. Holy to have his wife call 911 back and say they didn’t need to send anybody. The two off-duty officers then left.

Gee. This sounds kind of like witness tampering. And is "under color of the law" an aggravating factor?
