A part-time Westview police officer has been issued a summons on charges he threatened to kill his pregnant ex-girlfriend and her family. Channel 11 news has learned Walter Johnson faces three counts of terroristic threats and one count of harassment. According to court documents, Johnson got into an argument with [BW], the mother of his three children, on June 22. The documents state Johnson threatened to smash the head of [BW]'s father, to hurt her mother, and to kill [BW] and her parents. Johnson works for Westview, Avalon and Crescent Township police departments. The Westview police chief said Johnson has been removed from the schedule and his job status with the department is pending on the outcome of the case.

Whoever wrote that stupid comment about the victim's kids - take that somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is now charged criminally with assaulting a suspect, and was previously fired by Avalon Borough for numerous infractions. Sounds like more is going on than a simple custody issue, and that he could benefit from anger managemement and another profession.
DeleteI actually know this person very well and hes an excellent cop person and father i think hes being set up personally

A former Avalon police officer is being held in the Allegheny County Jail, where he allegedly knocked out a suspect's tooth and broke his jaw.
According to the criminal complaint, Walter Johnson was still a police officer in April when he arrested a man for attacking another officer on Cleveland Avenue and took him to the jail.
At the jail, Johnson pushed the man into the cell with so much force that the man was lifted off the ground and his head slammed into the wall, causing "dislocated fractures" to his jaw and loose teeth, according to the complaint.
Another officer came in and found the man in a pool of blood, and doctors found a tooth lodged in the man's airway, according to the complaint.
Johnson was fired in June after another officer told the police chief to look at surveillance video of the incident and the chief called county police to investigate.
Johnson was arrested Wednesday night and charged with aggravated assault and official oppression."

Police said Szilagyi suffered several broken bones and severe bleeding.
Johnson was fired in June.

Fired Pa. officer charged with assaulting prisoner

AVALON, Pa. -- A Pittsburgh-area police officer fired in July for refusing a random drug test has been charged with covering up his alleged assault of a handcuffed prisoner.
Online court records don't list an attorney for the former Avalon Borough officer, 37-year-old Walter Johnson, who faces a preliminary hearing Thursday.
Allegheny County police say Johnson threw the handcuffed man into a holding cell wall with such force that the man's jaw was broken and his teeth loosened - including one later found lodged in his airway. Investigators say another officer came in to find the victim lying in a pool of blood.
Borough manager Harry Dilmore says Johnson was fired for insubordination. Police got a tip to check the holding cell surveillance video after he was fired and found evidence of the alleged April 20 assault.
