Indianapolis IND. Feb 26 2008 – A Perry Township Constable is in trouble with the law Monday afternoon following a weekend arrest at a Broad Ripple bar.
Constable Lawrence Walter appeared before a judge on two felony and three misdemeanor charges, including battery on a police officer, after getting into a nasty fight with police after he was told to leave Landsharks on Broad Ripple Avenue.
A Metro police officer says Walter, 27, refused repeated warnings to leave the bar around 3:00 am Sunday morning. He left once but returned, sparking a fight with police. It took four officers to get him subdued along with repeated stuns with their Taser.
IMPD Lt. Jeff Duhamell said Walter was “kicking the officer, spitting on the officer, swearing, and he had swung on the officer with a closed fist. The officer received injuries to his face.”Police say eventually Walter claimed he was an officer after putting up a nasty fight.”He told them several times he was a policeman,” Lt. Duhamell said. “He had been drinking.”
Officers talked with Walter’s employers at the Perry Township Small Claims Court, where he worked as a deputy constable. They terminated his special deputy powers immediately from the Perry Township Constable’s office, The Marion County Sheriff’s Department and at Wishard Hospital Security.
Walter told the judge his only previous arrest happened in Texas for public intoxication. The judge decided to released him after his attorney convinced the court he is not a flight risk and set his pre-trial and trial dates for next month.
