BATON ROUGE, La.
An off-duty Baton Rouge Police officer was issued a misdemeanor summons after a fellow officer accused him of battery and interference.
Sgt. Charles Polozola responded to a call from a bar manager that 28-year-old Officer John Passman, who was off duty and in plain clothes, and two other men were drunk and causing problems early Thursday.
The men agreed to leave, but minutes later Polozola saw one of them entering another bar and when Polozola tried to detain the man, Passman allegedly interfered by grabbing Polozola from behind and pulling him away.
Passman was arrested and issued a summons for battery on a police officer and interfering with a police officer. He has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
