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.
