A police officer who touched his colleague's penis and shouted 'it’s a small one' has been sacked. PC Adam Reed was dismissed by Wiltshire Police for his 'wholly inappropriate' behaviour.
He was sacked following a five day misconduct hearing headed by an independent lawyer, a Legally Qualified Chair (LQC), Wales Online reports. During the hearing, Reed admitted that at a police station, in front of colleagues, he had pulled down the officer’s trouser zip, inserted his hand and touched his penis before shouting 'it's a small one'.
He claimed the incident was 'banter', and that he shouldn't be sacked. Reed argued it amounted to misconduct rather than gross misconduct, which results in dismissal.
