The Three Stooges

Via Jeffery


An investigation is underway after one Lipscomb police officer handcuffed and used pepper spray on another Lipscomb police officer, all while a baffled mayor looked on.

Authorities say Officer Warren Powe, once fired from the force and later reinstated, used Mace on fellow Officer William Henry Bynum Monday. Bynum was later taken to UAB West by paramedics to be evaluated after the pepper spray use but is said to be OK.

It is the latest incident in years of trouble in Lipscomb, a western Jefferson County city once dubbed by Mayor Lance McDade as a "hot mess." Last year, McDade was found guilty of attempting to elude a Lipscomb police officer - Powe - who had stopped him on a traffic violation.
