Police arrested Bobby Taylor for assaulting Mary Achtenberg as she tried to enter her home last Tuesday afternoon. Miller knew the Chief would back him up on his decision of a two-day suspension without pay. Later, he would make his way to the Chief’s office, and apprise him of what had occurred between Bobby Taylor and Officer Hendrix and the punishment he had invoked. Miller, now resting his face in his hands, felt remorse at what he just did, yet hoped in the long run, it would make her a better officer one he could ultimately be proud of. “Yes, get out…before I…just, get outta my sight.” Miller said pointing at the door Sherry turned and strutted out of the office. You embarrassed the department, you embarrassed yourself, and most of all you embarrassed me!” he howled.įor a moment, Sherry started to tear-up, but quickly regained her bearing, “As I said, I’m sorry for my misconduct. During those two days, I want you to think hard about what you did. “Well then, here’s what I have to say, you are suspended for two days without pay. “I’m sorry sir,” was all she could muster in a low voice. “Officer Hendrix, you mean to stand there, and tell your Superior Officer that you damn near beat a suspect to death, and you have no idea why?! What kind of bullshit are you trying to peddle here?!” Miller was beside himself with anger. “Sir, I truly don’t know what came over me.” She stood at attention in front of his desk. Miller leaned forward as his chair squeaked again, still red faced, he stared straight at Sherry, “Well, I’m waiting Officer Hendrix,” he used her official title due to the seriousness of her offense, as he seen it to be.
