Connecticut cop pulls gun on colleague who photographed him sleeping on duty...

- A veteran Metro-North Railroad police officer was arrested Friday after police said he threatened another officer with his gun after that officer took a photograph of him sleeping on duty.

David Davis, 51, was charged with first-degree reckless endangerment. He was released on a written promise to appear in court.

According to police, on Feb. 6, Davis was asleep at his desk in the MTA office on Union Avenue when fellow officers thought it would be funny to photograph him.

Police said one of the officers, John Freeman, pulled out his camera phone and was photographing Davis with it when Davis woke up. They said Davis drew his 9mm Glock handgun from its holster and pointed it at Freeman's head, telling him, "No one's taking pictures today." Full story...
