A drunken cop who made an off-duty 999 call mistakenly claiming he had been assaulted by a bouncer after being booted out of a nightclub has been sacked.
PC Liam Simonet of West Yorkshire Police later updated the police log with misleading information in an attempt to 'shut down any investigation into his embarrassing conduct', an investigation by West Yorkshire Police found.
The officer claimed he had tried to intervene in a drug deal at a Halifax nightclub in the early hours of May 13, 2022. A misconduct panel heard how PC Simonet not been punched by door staff or pushed downstairs, but had genuinely felt this had happened at the time he made the 999 call, reports YorkshireLive.
