CORONA, Calif. (KTLA) — An L.A. County sheriff’s deputy has been relieved of duty and is under investigation.
KTLA caught exclusive pictures of a large supply of weapons and other evidence being removed from the Corona home of Deputy Richard Piquette.
Authorities won’t say why the home was searched or why Piquette is under investigation.
Piquette, who works as an in-custody deputy at the jails, has been suspended with pay. So far, he has not been charged with a crime.
Many neighbors, who wouldn’t speak on camera, said they weren’t terribly surprised by the search at the house.
They said there is a lot of traffic in and out of the house at all hours.

A pink rifle, is this guy gay?
February 18, 2013 at 8:37 PM
That was the Hello Kitty model.
February 18, 2013 at 8:41 PM
Black rifles are often considered "assault weapons" because they look scary. Pink rifles are okay, though.
February 19, 2013 at 9:28 AM
LOL.
Billy, John, and Malclave … good ones.
On a more serious note, the criminal cop may have stolen it.
An off duty career LAPD cop was caught red handed in a residential burglary last year by the physician homeowner who came back from hiking.
Cops are caught in all kinds of FELONIES these days… including murder. Look at the Van Nuys, CA, LAPD Detective who just went to prison for a cold case murder she did 20 years back. She murdered a successful, nice looking Registered Nurse out of jealousy because her former boyfriend dumped her and decided to date a classy woman rather than a dyke with a badge.
February 19, 2013 at 2:12 PM
Over 10,000 LA County Deputies and another 10,000 LAPD Officers…just in LA alone there's over 50,000 Cops. Your gonna get a few crooked people in every field…even Goverment

Why does color matter?
Puzzled why color, would matter.
February 19, 2013 at 2:32 PM
It was supposed to be a gift for your mother…they spoiled it…

The pink rifle..
February 18, 2013 at 7:56 PM
How about a full text report, KTLA? I hate having to sit through a 30 second ad before every fucking video. Geez.
February 18, 2013 at 8:07 PM
download "ad blocker plus". It cuts the ads out.
February 18, 2013 at 10:15 PM
Good call. I have it installed for FF but I use IE 10 when browsing KTLA. :/ I don't know why I didn't think of that before!
February 18, 2013 at 8:01 PM
Relived of duty with pay? Sounds like this deputy hit the jackpot. Doesn't have to work anymore and still gets paid. L.A. Sheriff's department is a complete joke. No wonder everyone hates cops.
February 18, 2013 at 9:45 PM
Paul…"everyone hates cops"? Speak for yourself. They are not required to discuss the investigation with you and he was arrested and convicted for what? Not everyone works at McDonalds like you do shitbag.
February 18, 2013 at 11:17 PM
LeRoy = cop worshipper.
How about that CHP Asst Chief who just bailed out after being arrested for FELONIES one of which was helping his dirtbag convicted rapist son escape to Mexico?
Any comments on that, LeeRoy ?
Another criminal cop. They're everywhere.
February 19, 2013 at 9:04 AM
so never dial 911 when you need help and problem solved.
February 20, 2013 at 8:58 AM
Spoken like a true poser hiding behind a badge or a friend with a badge. Hey Piquete , show us your badge..? h that's right, they took that and your guns… Just the start of a dumptruch full of crap coming your way. Your parents must be so proud! A shame you stained your family name. I think Pinkerton Security is hiring…

February 19, 2013 at 9:09 AM
That is not completely true, yes there are some dirty cop's, and there are some damn fine cop's who play by the rule's,we're all subject to good, and bad, evil (sic) and that's human nature, we've just got to stop being so amazed when there caught or suspected of wrong doing, and rewards be reigned upon those who show valor, and respect ,and compassion for the public…I'm just saying
February 20, 2013 at 9:50 PM
Whats the crime? Owning guns?people like you judged and
killed Jesus.
February 18, 2013 at 11:17 PM
Any police department in California has to play by the same rules. The minute he gets charged with a crime, his pay is cut off. If they decide to fire him, obviously his pay is cut off. Any temporary relief of duty status has to be with full pay and benefits. It's just the law. If you really think he hit the jackpot, consider this: the deputy will probably be fired and prosecuted. He can never work in his chosen field again and might serve jail time. Some jackpot. Slow down before you post any more.
February 18, 2013 at 11:19 PM
Paul …. google the central valley media story right now.
High level California Highway Patrol Asst Chief just charged with FELONIES for assisting his dirtbag rapist son escape to Mexico.
You see, we all see, that cops are fast to impose "law" upon mere civilians… but weak and unable to obey those "laws" themselves.
February 19, 2013 at 5:38 AM
Police officers know how to skate around certain parameters in order to keep the pay coming in. Take for instance CLC#4850 (california labor code) This allows officers to take a year off with pay tax free for medical reasons. How do they tap into these benefits? They go to a doctor that is "juiced in" and the doctor rights them a reason for leave, it gets pushed through and then bam….that officer gets one year tax free salary for one year.
Officers use this 4850 to abuse the system and also to take retirement early as to pull every dime from CALPERS as they can!
February 19, 2013 at 12:41 PM
Oh, it gets better, his own department was investigating him for a supposed "injuy on duty" that he milked for over a year. System is broken!
February 20, 2013 at 9:01 AM
Pretty bad when your own department targets you
February 18, 2013 at 8:48 PM
upto I saw the receipt saying $4054, I didn't believe that my mom in-law was like they say truley making money part-time on their apple labtop.. there brothers friend has been doing this for under ten months and at present repaid the morgage on their appartment and purchased a top of the range Porsche 911. this is where I went,……….. BIT40.ℂOℳ
February 19, 2013 at 9:05 AM
your mom is a 2 peso hooker in TJ, she cannot afford a computer dirtbag
February 18, 2013 at 9:03 PM
With pay?
F'k that the guy should be in prison just like every other "Joe and Jane Average Citizen" !!!!!
February 18, 2013 at 9:31 PM
we need dorner to kill the pig ban cops
February 18, 2013 at 10:22 PM
They found out he was helping Dorner.
February 19, 2013 at 9:36 AM
Enjoyed your humor, Yupp.
But if they really thought he was helping Dorner, they would have done the same exact thing they did to Dorner. They would have murdered him and then set his house on fire rather than search it.
February 19, 2013 at 12:02 PM
Heard Dorner had help, thought it was from someone inside the LAPD, too much inside info. But that would make sense
February 20, 2013 at 10:00 PM
You shitbag, think of that before you dial 911, passing judgement on someone who hasnt done anything illegal, your the reason why this Country is going to shit..I own firearms and am sickend that it is frowned upon and considered to be illegal to own a “cache” (6 rifles).
February 18, 2013 at 11:07 PM
NO…..they found out he was dealing dope or guns or both or was a fence for stolen items…….but either way, he was a dumbass and got pinched!
February 18, 2013 at 11:55 PM
Your racism deletes any legitimacy in your comments, don't bother posting on topics using the name 'mark' if you want to be looked at as legit.
February 19, 2013 at 9:38 AM
Empire:
How do you figure "racism" is involved you stupid fool ?
The subject is about a FELONY COP.. a criminal cop. Got it?
You ignorant types who go sideways and are unable to stay on topic are retarded.
February 19, 2013 at 6:53 AM
as Clarence responded I'm blown away that a person able to make $7963 in four weeks on the computer. did you read this web page jump15.comCHECK IT OUT
February 19, 2013 at 9:06 AM
olga, go blow a goat
February 19, 2013 at 7:37 AM
Could you do their job????
February 19, 2013 at 9:18 AM
Oh, yeah Barry.
The cops just have such a hard job.
Thats why they are recruited from the ranks of truck drivers, bar bouncers, and warehousemen.
February 19, 2013 at 2:07 PM
FYI everyone…Jason didnt pass backgrounds….dont hate on him hating
February 20, 2013 at 8:46 AM
Classic how Dip Shit Richie and his friends want to deflect all that he has done and screwed up by going after them… just wait and see, he's screwed! Say bye bye to your job, wanna-be
February 19, 2013 at 7:47 AM
Not all cops are bad, but plenty of bad cops to give them all a bad name. And as far as Dorner is concerned, I was shocked when I saw the receipt saying $6034. I didn't believe that my sister was making money part-time on their apple labtop. Her friend has been doing this for under ten months and at present paid off the morgage on their house and purchased a top of the range Porsche 911. this is where I went,……….. BIT40.ℂOℳ … (hahaha)
February 19, 2013 at 8:28 AM
Stop the pay, what kind of punishment is that. Now he gets paid for being a criminal. Get Real
February 19, 2013 at 9:20 AM
ANY person in the private sector who is suspended from employment while his case is being reviewed loses his pay as well. ONLY cops get paid while they are being investigated for criminal acts.
Some states, I think New York, terminate the public safety pensions of cops if those cops are convicted of felony crimes after they retire. CA should be the same way.
If you are a retired cop and you engage in a FELONY crime, you lose your fricken pension. Thats the way it should be.
February 19, 2013 at 9:03 AM
if only u knew what was really going on! oh wait you don't… so stop hating on something you don't know what is going on. he is a Sherriff of course he's going to have guns he's young of course people are going to be walking in and out of the house.. some people do have lives and friends and people do come over and leave especially if they don't live there. as far as the pink gun ever think that maybe a girl lived there and it was hers?? why do people have to criticize know the whole story before you start talking smack…. some people these days… HAVE SOME RESPECT
February 19, 2013 at 9:23 AM
ThereForPiquette = cop worshipper.
Hey bonehead. You seriously need to learn about life.
Piquette isn't "a Sheriff." He is a deputy. DOH !!
"of course he is going to have guns" Why "of course" bonehead ?
Your stupidity is beyond belief.
Let me guess. You study "criminal justice" at the local junior college? CJ is nothing more than high school level cop worship.
February 19, 2013 at 10:45 AM
Sounds like someone angered the tweaker girlfriend who was just arrested for meth…..whoops, did that just get leaked? LMAO… What about the weed Piquette uses? He is a JOKE
February 19, 2013 at 12:39 PM
Ouch!
February 19, 2013 at 9:27 AM
Yes just try reporting a bad cop, just read about the helecopter pilot of the LAPD ho just died in the LA TIMES PAPER, its just amazing that these crooked cops go so long and nobody cares until its too late
February 19, 2013 at 9:31 AM
You didn't say what the helicopter pilot cop did?
Was he a criminal cop that was exposed?
I know that they have documented proof now that Sheriff BACA and his buddies have been using the tax supported Sheriff's helicopter for personal use.
February 19, 2013 at 10:13 AM
This guy is a tool. EVERYONE who knows him from work at IRC knows he NEVER should have been given a badge. Brass felt they owed it to the family since his brother died on duty in a traffic accident. This bozo is a liability to ALL of law enforcement. He will get what he deserves.
February 19, 2013 at 12:38 PM
So why didnt you guys get rid of him?
February 19, 2013 at 1:58 PM
Dip Shit….get it right. He has never worked IRC. Your getting him confused with his brother.
February 19, 2013 at 3:28 PM
Nobody could confuse Him for Dave…… Not even close…. Good vs Bad
February 21, 2013 at 3:34 PM
Bozo? Haha how old are you shitbird? I mean “bozo”…grow some balls and talk shit to someone’s face, not on a webpage…or just shut the fuck up and say hi Sir.
February 19, 2013 at 10:26 AM
Im a racist huh? I am half black and hispanic… You are dumb.
February 19, 2013 at 11:11 AM
Only whites can be racist? Which half is black? Lower half.. Upper half Hispanic maybe..
February 19, 2013 at 10:39 AM
This guy will get what he deserves . Everyone that works with him here thinks he's an immature idiot. He keeps tweeker girlfriends, screws prostitutes and thinks he is a bad ass thug. Wait until you see what comes out .. He is an embarassment to us
February 19, 2013 at 2:01 PM
Bob….who the hell are you? He doesnt even work there so that shows your a wannabe IRC poser
February 20, 2013 at 6:34 PM
I have personally worked with Richard… Great cop!!! The guy got his home raided and nothing comes from it, still a free man. Sounds like a lawsuit to me.
February 21, 2013 at 5:32 PM
Just because they didn't arrest him doesn't mean anything…. He can kiss his job goodbye. Thats enough
February 19, 2013 at 10:42 AM
Suspended with Pay? If I did something wrong at my job I would be fired and would not get paid for it. It's time that government officials are treated like everyone else! Fire them don't pay them and take away their pensions and benefits. WAKE up California we are getting screwed in every deal!!!!!
February 19, 2013 at 1:59 PM
If you get arrested do you lose your job in the private sector? No. Do you lose your private sector retirement if you get arrested? No. Then why should public employees? It's a stupid argument to make. He is being dealt with, wait to see what happens. Cops hate dirty cops more that anyone else.
February 19, 2013 at 10:46 AM
"there for piquette"…..Sounds like someone angered the tweaker girlfriend who was just arrested for meth…..whoops, did that just get leaked? LMAO… What about the weed Piquette uses? He is a JOKE
February 19, 2013 at 2:28 PM
Your a joke. ..bad ass on the net, I bet your the type of Dep that jumps dudes, no chance in a one on one fight…make sure your radio battery is fully charged. ..
February 19, 2013 at 10:55 AM
Damn neighbors need to just mind their own business… I can’t stand nosy ass people!!!
February 19, 2013 at 11:00 AM
Doesnt sound like the neighbors are the problem… must suck to have co-workers hate you???
February 19, 2013 at 10:56 AM
He is a disgrace to his brother , who died in the line of duty. Used to date him. He is not a good person. Surprised he ever got a badge. Shame on him. Hope he gets put away so we are safer.
February 19, 2013 at 11:23 AM
Are you dating any more losers? Thinking about making some Fudge today,
February 19, 2013 at 12:34 PM
No Brad… I learned my lesson… We all make mistakes
February 19, 2013 at 12:02 PM
Suspended with pay? Isn't that called a vacation? I want to be suspended with pay…
February 19, 2013 at 12:04 PM
we need to change the law so they are like any other job, once suspended the pay stops
February 19, 2013 at 2:13 PM
We need to pass a law to keep bitches like you in the kitchen.
February 19, 2013 at 12:13 PM
Stupid white people. This is all crackers know how to do!!
February 19, 2013 at 1:14 PM
He must have snitched on a superior.
February 19, 2013 at 1:26 PM
Really? that simple? did they plant 30 rifles , drugs and computers too?
February 19, 2013 at 1:33 PM
Ive known Rich since he became a sheriff and he is a stand up guy… He doesn't smoke weed or use drugs or do anything illegal… As far as who he dates and has sexual relations with is none of anybodys buisiness.. sounds like the couple pussies he works with that are talking shit on him are most likly just jealous little bitches that cant get laid… and what cop doesn't have a collection of guns, lmao… you guys are all a joke..
February 19, 2013 at 2:03 PM
Agreed…. Being a player isn't a crime…Every cop has a small collection of Guns.
February 20, 2013 at 8:49 AM
Well "friend" wait till you see how this pans out. He is done…. will be lucky if he doesn't get booked! He is done in Law Enforcement, thank God. Shout out to us all then, when the results are in…. Your tail will be between your legs then, along with your limp dick.
February 21, 2013 at 5:26 PM
HE IS DONE
February 19, 2013 at 2:04 PM
Criminal? What did he do? Whats the crime? He collect s guns? He likes to party at night? If thats a crime I must be a fkn terrorist.
February 19, 2013 at 4:05 PM
Pretty simple…. this guy will either get his job back or not…. Charges filed or not…. just let it be decided before you pass judgement
February 20, 2013 at 10:22 AM
that loos like Ron Jeremy xxx aka hedgehog! holding thoes rifles!
February 20, 2013 at 1:09 PM
i have known this guy for over 5 years and he is a good neighbor. He has been nothing but nice to my family. He is also single so i see alot of females going to his house at all hours, kind of a ladies man. He has a bunch of guns but last time i checked that wasnt against the law. Most cops have a gun collection.
February 20, 2013 at 1:20 PM
Piquette is a close friend of mine. He does not use or sell drugs. He has alot of weapons that are all registered. He bangs alot of hot chicks and he has alot of tattoos. But with all that comes alot of haters. He likes to have fun and party just like all of us, but he does not break the law.
February 20, 2013 at 1:34 PM
Well, having woman coming to your house, at all hours of the night, He should be investigated. Period. That's called networking.. It's not normal. I live in Los Angelas, work at the World Airport, my home is on hughes ave, by the freeway, since they turned the old KFC into pot medical shack, all kinds of nuts driving down my street. I don't like it, having so many guns, wrong…
February 21, 2013 at 9:47 AM
Learn how to spell, thats why you work at the airport as a janitor. So your saying that if you own a lot of guns your a criminal? You have a computer so does that mean your a hacker? And Stop your crying nobody cares if you miss the KFC…retard, I hope you get hit by a buss.
February 20, 2013 at 2:17 PM
Well, tattoos speak volumes, all hours of night, woman friends coming by…do I need to say anymore?
February 20, 2013 at 2:20 PM
We n know what's going on, can't fool us…
February 20, 2013 at 3:24 PM
I’ve had the privilege of knowing this deputy for quit some time, and honestly I can say nothing but positive things about him. All these allegations are false, he doesn’t sell nor do drugs, all of his firearms are registered properly (nothing illegal), so what if he has tats or hangs out with a lot of chicks. How is that wrong? Sounds like to me there is a lot of haters and jealous people out there! And the sad part about this is, that he would be the first person I know to help out a random civilian in need of help. So stop judging about something you guys know nothing about, and how the news gives some bs half ass story!!
February 21, 2013 at 5:25 PM
You are either dumb or lying, prrof is there….. they don't need to arrest him to prove anything… say bye to the badge though!
February 20, 2013 at 5:46 PM
when I think of rich 3 words come to mind HONOR RESPECT AND INTREGRITY , if u know rich then u know he became a cop to honor is fallen brother david who was a honorable man as well and nothing is more honorable than that, rich is a regular American just like any one of us, he doesn't nor has he done drugs or anything illegal or out of the bounds of the law that he has sworn to uphold, he is a great man and he comes from a honorable family who have served our country in many ways, rich party's on his own time like any other regular blue blooded American and no he doesn't have or sell's illegal weapons and get real cops have weapons like any American dose, I think he will and should keep his job and malice towards a fellow brother is insubordination and cowardly look in the mirror first before u judge all in all rich is a amazing friend and brother and son these are facts and RICHIE P WILL BE VINDICATED with out a doubt in my mind period.
February 21, 2013 at 5:24 PM
Will lose his job…. BET ON IT… if we are lucky, they will prosecute him too….
February 22, 2013 at 8:41 AM
WOW, former Deputy, it seems you have alot of time to write or have your homies respond to all of the posts here since you are on PAID leave. Must be nice. Either way, you should all educate yourselves and learn how to form a proper sentence and spell. It would give the appearance that there is an inteligent person on the other end. That would lead to being more credible. All I see here is anger, bitterness and a soon to be unemployed Ex Deputy. Yoyu could always fall back on the side businesses that landed you in this position in the first place though…. but the retirement system isn't as good….
February 22, 2013 at 1:02 PM
Wow grammar/spelling nazi, misspells words too. Tell us more…
February 23, 2013 at 3:42 PM
ya your very educated uh bud "yoyu" wtf is that lmfaoahhaahahaha
February 20, 2013 at 7:05 PM
Do you guys realize how much a keg of beer weights, around 100 lbs, wait, maybe 16 lbs after few hours after piquett e hands been on it.
February 20, 2013 at 8:22 PM
If u really know piquette, he doesn’t drink beer dumbass.
February 21, 2013 at 5:23 PM
No, the beer interferes with the Cocaine… get it right
February 20, 2013 at 9:49 PM
Ya dumb ass nerds get that shit right . Stop running your mouths and get a life you jealous ass lames that have nothing better to do then hate on him . Shit sounds like some ppl wish they got tail like him. Smh jealous ass co workers . MIND YOUR OWN BUSSINESS!!!!!!!!!
February 21, 2013 at 5:30 PM
Yeah? Jealous huh? See who has a job in the very near future! Run to MAMA
February 22, 2013 at 8:35 AM
So I picture your cracker ass with a fake gold grill in your mouth , using your two fingers on your outstretched hands , like you are a thug azz rapper… LMAO. Use your time to get an education, stop smoking so much weed, and stop calling Mom for a loan. GROW UP
February 20, 2013 at 9:57 PM
MAD RESPECT FOR RICHARD PIQUETTE!
February 21, 2013 at 5:22 PM
Must be a crook druggie friend too….
February 20, 2013 at 9:58 PM
Dirty piss test. He was already relieved. Good riddance.
February 21, 2013 at 5:29 PM
Go figure! What a schlub
February 21, 2013 at 1:39 AM
Officer Piquette is the ultimate cop story with powerful arsenal of enormous inside source of darkest side of inner workings of police department. My sources, which have astonishing credibility tell me, this internal investigation, is just starting, and will effect huge amount of other officers, it has the harness and now, the blackest of horses are about to shape everything you ever imagined in your wildest dreams about police department. This might even turned into best seller novel once completed.
February 21, 2013 at 10:04 AM
I support deputy piquette
February 21, 2013 at 5:28 PM
Support??? as in buy from him? cool!
February 22, 2013 at 8:36 AM
LMAO good one
February 21, 2013 at 10:20 AM
This whole story sounds like a set up. They want to show the media that they found a bunch of guns. Who cares if they are registered.La sheriff discriminating on this man for the way he looks. I don’t think tattoos are against the law or being a player.
February 21, 2013 at 11:59 AM
Set up! Come on, grow up…
February 21, 2013 at 5:28 PM
No, but drugs and guns are…… what a complete loser
February 21, 2013 at 12:58 PM
Sounds like a set up for sure.
February 21, 2013 at 5:20 PM
Sounds like a crook, not a set up…. DIRTY PEE TEST!!! Way to go Richie!
February 21, 2013 at 5:13 PM
They even took his pizza….fat detectives.
February 21, 2013 at 11:45 PM
I think what ACTUALLY speaks volumes here are the comments from everyone. On one side you have his friends who are barely literate and keep talking about all the "Haterz." And you have a bunch of cops saying he is done and was an embarrassment! Soooooo….coworkers that aren't shocked by this story and stupid sounding friends. I'm pretty sure I have a handle on the story here lol! By the way….I've never met the guy and don't work for the LASD. But somehow I was able to hear through the grapevine that he was a douche. Oh…and where are all of you getting this info about him banging hot chicks? Most of his Facebook pics (before he removed them) showed him shirtless and rubbing up against other dudes. I'm pretty sure he was gay and the girlfriend was a front. Just sayin… Not that there is anything wrong with that
February 22, 2013 at 7:40 AM
First off if your a cop and your posting here fanning the flames, your a piece of shit. Especially if your on this guys department, gone are the days when partners were men and and didnt pass judgement until hard facts were present, his only down fall was joining that shitty department, no respect for their own. Be a man and stop all the “pee” talk…wait to see what happens.
February 22, 2013 at 8:31 AM
WOW! As an outsider it's prety entertaining to see whats going on here. I too have to say after all the comments, it appears he is going to be in some serious trouble. All of his "friends and supporters" have a hell of a time completing a sentence without trying to sound like they are hood and from the street. Not someone a cop should surround themselves with. It does speak volumes as to his character. Calling people HaterZ , bitches, shitbags, pieces of shit and reveling in the fact that he is a "Playa" … cmon, you are fanning your own flames. Weather it is you ( Piquette) or your "friends" , either way, it reflects Poorly on you. Soundls like a case of a cop whi was not mature enough to understand the imporance of what the position entails. Not someone I want representing all of police.
February 22, 2013 at 12:15 AM
I use to date Rich Piquette and he was amazing in bed. He was always a gentleman.
February 22, 2013 at 8:32 AM
Is your name Bob? or Neal?
February 22, 2013 at 3:44 PM
Deputy piquette is the last of a dying breed of old school deputy. He handles everything like a man should. Much respect to him and his family.
Amicus certus in re incerta cernitur
February 23, 2013 at 8:16 AM
"Amicus certus in re incerta cernitur." – (quoted by Cicero "A sure friend is seen in an unsure matter"
Cicero also said,
"Good deeds, if badly placed, become bad deeds." – quoted by Cicero.
If the dying breed of old school deputy does not abide the rules and regulations of the department, they should be shown the door.

The bottom line is that Rich is under investigation, and it should not be taken lightly or thought of as being funny. Department investigations are not a rinky dink operations. A lot of time and work is put in before someone is relieved of duty or fired. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is currently under federal investigation, so for those of you with conspiracy theories, that's probably not the case. None of us employed by LASD want to be under a federal consent decree. If he did something to dishonor his job or this department he SHOULD face the consequences for his actions. The days of brushing misconduct under the carpet and looking the other way are gone. Maybe he was a bad hire as listed in this report. http://www.laoir.com/reports/LASDBackground.pdf

People just don't get it…. we just don't get to decide to turn the other cheek anymore. This is not the profession to go into if you can not act professional BOTH on and off duty.

Don’t pass judgement until investigation is complete.
