Officer Antonio Allums Committing Crimes While in Uniform

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.

A Lipscomb police officer has lost his probation and has been sent to the Jefferson County Jail after being charged with harrassment a second time.

Officer Antonio Allums was already serving two years of probation on a misdemeanor conviction when got a new harassment charge in June.

Assistant District Attorney James Butler said the 44-year-old officer has been committing the crimes while in uniform. He has been placed on unpaid leave.

Allums is accused of harassing a woman when their paths crossed at a gas station the day after he issued her traffic tickets. He allegedly told her he hadn't yet turned in the tickets and could make them go away in exchange for favors.

In the original charge, another woman said Allums entered her home unannounced and fondled her the day after pulling her over in a traffic stop.
