Boo! Cop Accused Of Pulling Gun At Haunted House
Baltimore, MD (AP) -- Authorities say a Baltimore city police officer pulled his gun on a chain-saw-wielding haunted house worker who was trying to get "one last scream" out of him.
Baltimore County police say Sgt. Eric Janik has been charged with assault for pulling his service weapon on the worker, who was dressed up as the killer from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
Police say the employee approached Janik after the haunted house tour was over Sunday night.
Police say Janik pulled his service weapon and pointed it at the man's chest. The man dropped the chain saw, which had no chain and was not dangerous.
Charging documents show that Janik smelled of alcohol and told different stories about what he did with the gun.
Janik has been suspended with pay, pending a formal suspension hearing.

I hesitate to defend the cop's actions, but maybe he was joking; riffing off that scene from one of the Indiana Jones movies, where Dangerous Muslim guy has a big sword?
Ha! Ha!
Assholes W/ Weapons Editor Agrees:
If Sg't. Janik was drinking/drunk & the gun was loaded, there's no excuse.
Unless it was a Muslim Chain-Saw Massacre.
OK, the cop was totally out of line. And being drunk just makes it worse. OTOH; somebody walking around "pretending" to be a murderer with a chainsaw . . . what's up with that? Was that supposed to be some kind of joke? He's lucky he didn't receive a severe beating.
