A police officer who attacked one of his colleagues on a night out while under the influence of alcohol would have been sacked if he had not already resigned, a misconduct hearing ruled.
The incident happened while Samuel Sneade was off-duty and under the influence of alcohol in Shrewsbury town centre on the night of October 12 into the early hours of October 13, 2022.
An Accelerated Misconduct Hearing held earlier today has found the former West Mercia Police Pc would have been sacked from the force had he not already resigned. The panel found his behaviour was a serious breach of the standards of professional behaviour in respect of discreditable conduct and amounted to gross misconduct.
Chief Constable Pippa Mills said:"We are determined to rid West Mercia Police of those whose behaviour does not uphold our professional standards of behaviour whether they are on or off duty.
