Cop Who Slapped Suspect After Being Stuck By SYRINGE GETS CHARGED WITH ASSAULT

It’s dark days for cops. And this has again been personified after a female Nashville Metro police officer was decommissioned over allegedly slapping a female suspect who had just stuck her with a syringe needle.

Police said Officer Elizabeth Berry-Loucks was searching a woman, being detained on felony drug and gun charges, when she was stuck by an uncapped syringe concealed in the woman’s bra. Berry-Loucks, whose immediate reaction was to slap the suspect in the face, was then herself arrested and charged with assault, according to documents.

Berry-Loucks, a three-year veteran of the department, is charged with misdemeanor assault. She has been assigned to desk duty while her actions are under investigation. Rachel Hall, 22, was arrested during the incident. She is charged with possession of heroin for resale, felony theft, possession of pills without a prescription, unlawful use of drug paraphernalia and violation of the crooks with guns law. She is being held on $25,000 bond. h/t wsmv

  • She need to be charged that's her job she does not have the right to retaliate. Her job is to up hold the law not be the punisher. I understand the cops angers but either she can do her job or not!
