Officer cited for harassment
State police said off-duty officer Autumn H. Fike, 44, of Dunbar was cited after an altercation with Jeremy Turek, 24, at Lemont Sportsman’s Club. Police said Turek was charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness following the same incident and Alexis Marie Metros, 24, of Dunbar was charged with simple assault.
Police said the incident began when a state trooper reported that Turek shined a laser pointer at him while he was responding to a separate incident at the location.
Police said that after the officer confronted Turek about the laser pointer and the safety risk of shining it at a trooper, he left the scene and Fike and Metros then confronted Turek on their own about the incident and tried to take the laser pointer from him.
An altercation ensued during which Turek struck Metros and then was struck multiple times in the face.
Police said all three suspects were drinking at the time of the incident.
