GREENSBORO, N.C.
Two of the three Greensboro police officers who were accused of sexual assault by a female officer have been fired.
City Manager Mitchell Johnson said the department fired Sgt. Allen Wallace and Officer John LeGrand.
Wallace, LeGrand and Officer Calvin Stevens were all suspended with pay December 18 after the off-duty officer accused them of sexually assaulting her. All three were members of the Tactical Special Enforcement Team.
On May 9, Guilford County District Attorney Doug Henderson announced in a press release that no criminal charges would be brought against the three officers. He cited a lack of evidence.
The department's professional standards division then continued an investigation into whether any officers violated department rules.
The off-duty officer alleged that the three officers picked her and a friend up at the Four Seasons Town Centre on Dec. 14 and sexually assaulted her.
Wallace was a vice and narcotics detective who had been with the department for eight years. He was promoted to sergeant on March 1, 2007. LeGrand joined the department in 2001.
