Drunk Cop Keeps Job After Nightclub Grope

0:00On March 24, a police officer in Wales has kept her job after a misconduct panel ruled she groped a man at a nightclub while drunk and off-duty. PC Zoe Williams of Die-Fit-Powys Police touched or cupped the groin of an unknown man in August in St. David's Pembroke Shire. CCTV captured the moment, and the panel called a gross misconduct, but chose a final written warning over dismissal. The incident happened during a night out with friends at the Roe Air Force Association Club. Williams had downed several double gin and tonics, baby Guinness shots, and a Sambuca. She danced extravagantly, hugged people she knew, and chatted with men from Cardiff before approaching the tall guy in a black t-shirt. Williams denied any deliberate or sexual touch, saying she was only at a six out of ten on the drunk scale and just brushed his midriff while passing. Bye. But the panel disagreed, finding she lacked self-control and respect toward the stranger she barely knew. Here that year, in January, Williams earned a chief constable's commendation for saving

1:03a two-year-old girl's life. On Salva Beach, she performed CPR for 25 minutes on toddler Elliott Jackson after a cardiac arrest boosting her survival odds from 5 percent until paramedics arrived. The child made a full recovery. The panel, led by an assistant chief constable, saw the nightclub episode as an isolated slip out of character for this dedicated officer. They wait testimonials in her community value, deciding dismissal would hurt her local area more than help public trust in policing.
