AUSTIN -- Police Chief Art
Acevedo suspended one of his officers for 15 days. According to his
disciplinary memo, Officer Wallace Johnson was rude to a man who turned in a
purse he found, then failed to process it properly.
That purse belonged to a woman
who was the victim of a purse-snatching. The memo says he violated department
policies on courtesy, evidence processing and neglect of duty.
Johnson waived his right to
appeal the suspension, which began Friday.
