Austin Police Sergeant Michael Brown Suspended for ‘Neglect of Duty’
Austin, Texas
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo was busy gearing-up for the Memorial Day holiday by distributing a disciplinary memo to a group of officers.
Sergeant Michael Brown was part of that group, who were stationed on Sixth Street last December. Brown apparently told officers not to leave their post to investigate a report of an unconscious and intoxicated person because closing time was approaching.
A lieutenant later told the officers to check it out.
Brown was given an eight-day suspension for “neglect of duty.”
He is allowed to appeal.
