An off-duty Dallas police officer has been accused of hitting and pulling a gun on a bar owner and bouncer as they tried to get him to leave at closing time.
Dallas police say 37-year-old Sgt. Hector Roa was charged with two counts of aggravated assault.
Matthew Kirchmeyer, a bouncer at the bar, tells The Dallas Morning News that he yelled when Roa pulled the gun early Sunday and officers across the street responded.
A police report says officers saw Roa chasing Kirchmeyer around a car with a gun in his hand. When the officers told Roa to drop his weapon, the 14-year veteran identified himself as an officer and surrendered.
Police say Roa has been placed on administrative leave pending criminal and administrative investigations.
