Dallas Cop Allegedly Threatens to Kill His Children, Arrested on Misdemeanor Harassment Charge, Placed on Paid Leave

DPD

Last Friday detectives from the Child Abuse Squad of the Dallas Police Department arrested Officer Casarae Womble of the Metro Task Force, on a charge of misdemeanor harassment, and was placed on paid administrative leave pending an "administrative investigation" by the Internal Affairs Division, according to a Dallas police spokesperson.

The Dallas Morning News reports the details of the allegations:

Police said in court documents that Womble called the mother of his child about their break-up and had a conversation that was "quite heated."

The woman, who was out of state for training but lives with Womble, recorded the call using a cellphone app, police said.

Womble allegedly threatened to hit the woman at her "core." He then allegedly asked her, "what if you have to go to two funerals?"

"Whose funerals?" the woman replied.

"You figure it out," Womble said, according to the police account. "I got two in my house right? I'll hit you in the core."

Womble was released on $500 bond, the base amount for a Class B Misdemeanor in Texas.

leave pending an "administrative investigation" by the Internal Affairs Division,

That's interesting. I thought the new police schtick was to clear the officer of wrongdoing, then do an investigation.

[Counterfly]

Wouldn't there just be one double funeral? Seems asinine to have two.

[Paul.]

That is our most modestly priced receptacle.

[Slammer]

Look, buddy, just because we're bereaved doesn't mean we're fucking SAPS!

[EDG reppin' LBC]

Come to Reason for the libertarianism, stay for the humor.

[Paul.]

Misdemeanor harassment... does that bar him from legally owning a firearm? I believe if I am accused of threatening to kill my kids-- even if I'm not convicted, I'm barred from owning a firearm.

[Counterfly]

We can't trust you, you're not qualified. This guy was trained by the state. A new professional. Infallible.

[Swiss Servator, spare a franc?]

And you thought Patents of Nobility were not allowed!

[The Late P Brooks]

Allusions were made.

Is Texas a two-party consent state? If so, bets on how long it takes for the mom to get picked up on wiretapping charges?

[Counterfly]

She was out of state. So it's a Federal offense, isn't it?

[Adam330]

I don't know how it works in that instance.

[Aresen]

Yeah. My first thought was that she was going to get busted on a felony wiretapping charge.

[PapayaSF]

He's disgracing the name of Womble!

"Casarae Womble." Heh. My advice to parents: if you have an odd last name, go for a simple first name.

If I had done that they would have murdered-swatted before the next dawn

My word of advice - based on *very* bitter experience:

Stay away from people who are unbalanced.....

Because when they snap - and they inevitably will snap - the law will cope with the hamfisted competence that is typical of government entities almost completely divorced from any form of accountability.

Had this asshole called his buddies and told them "she threatened to kill me with my gun as I slept!" they would cheerfully have arrested her, and she would have had a tough time clearing her name. Had he shot her - like that homicide detective in LA did to her boyfriend - he had a good chance that hid buddies would have classified it as a burglary-gone-wrong that they would never solve. Had he attacked her and she had tried to defend herself, she could have been picked up for assault and battery.

In this case, you have a shithead who threatens to kill his kids to extort something from their mother. And naturally the law is mishandling it. But, at least they actually are aiming their prosecution at the right party, so she should count herself lucky.

Yeah, wait until he's completely cleared of those charges.

[Riven]

I'll be interested to see who the law sides with on this one: chilrunz or the thin, blue line.

[LessIsMore]

Yeah, it will be interesting, but not surprising - my money's on the cop.

[SugarFree]

At least he didn't eat her face. So far.

[Slammer]

What's the picture of CC Sabathia doing there?

[The Last American Hero]

Working.class.heroes.

But wait, that was in Texas. I'm sure they are the height of professionalism in Dunphy's neighborhood. Real working class heroes:

Why the hell do we even need cops?

[Clown Hunter]

To build the roadz?

[derpules]

All that matters is that he got home okay.
