P.G. cop arrested for drunken spree

While some of the Toledo District’s police officers were detailed to Black Creek, another was being arrested for disgraceful conduct. Thirty-five year old constable Cesar Tzib, based in Punta Gorda, has been charged with aggravated assault and discharging a firearm in public. The arrest is the result of an incident on Sunday night in the village of Pueblo Viejo. John Cal told police that Tzib, in the company of two others, arrived at his house and after drinking wine, began to act drunk and disorderly. He then took out his thirty-eight service revolver and fired two shots at Cal’s feet. For good measure, according to Cal, Tzib loosed four more shots before deciding to leave. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. Tzib will have a month to think about his future in law enforcement as Magistrate Eric Fairweather denied the P.C. bail and remanded him to Hattieville until his trial date on June thirtieth.
