Good Cop, Drunk Cop
David Taha and Jonathan Zingale were looking through a friend's car for change to pay a bar tab when a man stopped them and reportedly stuck a gun in their faces. That man turned out to be an off-duty Cuyahoga County, Ohio, deputy sheriff Jamie Bonnette, who apparently thought they were stealing. Bonnette also allegedly stuck his gun to the head of the car's owner and pointed it at a man talking nearby on a cell phone, apparently for looking at him. Lakewood police arrested Bonnette, charging him with public intoxication, aggravated menacing, and using a weapon while intoxicated.
