Police Officer under investigation for smoking cigar during arrest
An unnamed St. Louis police officer may now be called the baddest cop in town after a video of him lighting up a cigar during an arrest has gone viral, forcing the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department to launch an investigation into the matter.
Footage posted online shows the officer pinning a man to the ground with his knee while leaning forward to a lighter's flame with the cigar in his mouth.
Bystanders and the suspect are heard joking with the officer that they also had lighters to offer.
‘Pull your lighter out, bro,’ one witness shouted before quickly rolling that idea back. ‘No, don’t pull it out. They might think you got a gun.’
At one point, the detained man makes an unsuccessful effort to free himself, while the unwavering officer takes a few puffs.
According to the St. Louis Police Department, the officer in question had been working his second job at the popular downtown nightclub, when the lounge staff requested him to remove the suspect from the venue, who was ultimately arrested for trespassing on private property and resisting arrest.
