Sacramento sergeant disciplined for arresting man for being drunk in public in his own garage. One police unplugged the camera.

Sad thing is that this was caught on camera while so many instances are not. Both officers need to be fired. The other one disconnected the camera which is almost as bad as anything else that was done.

“After receiving questions from The Sacramento Bee, the Sacramento Sheriff’s Office has released records revealing a series of events regarding the discipline of a sergeant who took down and arrested a man in his own garage for being drunk in public.

In February 2020, Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call for family disturbance at a house in Antelope, according to a newly released 588-page disciplinary document. Neither the incident nor the disciplinary records related to the officers involved were previously publicly available.

The Sheriff’s Office posted the records and video regarding Sgt. Brannon Polete’s discipline sometime between Oct. 20 and Nov. 17. The Bee first sent Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Amar Gandhi an email asking why the office was violating a state law by not releasing disciplinary records on Oct. 20.”
