WACO -- An investigation into an alleged assault by a Waco Police sergeant resulted in an indefinite suspension for the officer, which means he's been fired.

Sergeant Jason Barnum was suspended as of September 10, 2015 based on the department's internal investigation. He was a member of the department's drug enforcement unit.

A press release from Waco Police did not provide any details of the incident but it did say the alleged victim chose not to file any criminal charges.

A Waco police sergeant has been placed on indefinite suspension after he allegedly assaulted a local doctor near the man’s office in June.

Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said the decision to indefinitely suspend Sgt. Jason Barnum was made Sept. 10 and was based upon an internal investigation into Barnum’s behavior.

The doctor who was allegedly assaulted did not wish to file criminal charges, and no further action was taken in that regard, Swanton said.

Barnum, a member of the department’s drug enforcement unit, allegedly punched a doctor employed at Providence Health Center about noon on June 29 in the 7000 block of New Sanger Road, near the hospital.

Wow, definitely a good find. Here’s an extract from your linked item:

“...A Waco police officer named Jason Barnum provoked a scuffle over parking with Bandidos arriving for the meeting, she declared.

Barnum is a member of the area drug task force who is on administrative suspension due to an assault allegation. Ms. White alleged there are many police officers and paid professional confidential informants wearing biker colors who mingled in the throng of persons at Twin Peaks when the shooting occurred....”

By the way....IBTG.

Barnum has appealed his firing through the city of Waco Civil Service process, said John Moritz, a spokesman for the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas
