Apparently there are perks to being the Chattanooga Po-Po

Chattanooga Police Det. Kenneth Freeman will not face charges in an incident in which he shoved a 71-year-old greeter at the Wal-Mart in Collegedale to the floor after he tried to stop him while doing a receipts check.

Collegedale Police declined to bring charges, then the employee, Bill Walker, filled out a complaint himself. Collegedale Judge Kevin Wilson has reviewed the complaint and did not issue an assault charge.

In the incident on Christmas Eve, Mr. Walker said an alarm went off when Det. Freeman and another city police officer, Edwin McPherson, were leaving the store.

He said he reached to try to stop Det. Freeman and he was pushed against a soft drink machine and to the floor. He said the officer then hovered over him as he lay on the floor.

A police report says a customer then told Det. Freeman, "You can't push down an old man" and began struggling with him. It says Det. Freeman then shoved that man, Gholom Ghassedi, through a glass door. Officers found Mr. Ghassedi with blood on his neck, but he declined medical treatment.

Sgt. McPherson broke up the fight between Det. Freeman and Mr. Ghassedi. read more...

When a flight attendant asked him to close his laptop after boarding, Shafermeyer says he jokingly asked her, "Are you the one who checks for shoe bombs?"

Within minutes, federal agents removed him from the plane. He spent much of his time in the St. Louis County jail in solitary confinement. read more...
