Cop fired after pointing gun at ex-wife's new husband

Here's how you actually get fired sharpish if you're a bad cop: you go up to your ex-wife's new husband, put your service gun in his face, then tell him you're going to kill him.

Although [victim] Knupp was scared for his life, (Knupp) said, You don't scare me, Ed,' according to the affidavit.

The detectives said [Cpl. Edward J.] Huwalt resumed calling Knupp pedophile, pervert and other derogatory names. The detectives allege Huwalt told Knupp to pull over, but Knupp responded that he was leaving and drove away. Knupp reported the threat to borough officials the next morning, and Berger called the detective bureau to investigate.

Brown and Kranitz said they determined that Huwalt's service handgun, a Sig Sauer .357 caliber Magnum, has a blue finish and matches the description given by Charles Knupp

Ligonier Borough Council unanimously voted to sack Huwalt, 61. Huwalt's also been charged with making threats, reckless endangerment and harassment.
