TUCSON - A 23-year-old off-duty Tucson Police officer was arrested and charged with aggravated assault after he pointed a gun at a convenience store clerk Tuesday.

Kyle James McCartin and another unidentified man entered the Giant gas station located near Sunrise and Kolb around 3 a.m. on Tuesday.

Pima County Sheriff's deputies say the men were drunk when surveillance cameras caught McCartin pointing his gun at the clerk multiple times. When deputies arrived on the scene they caught up with McCartin at a nearby apartment complex.

McCartin was arrested and booked into the Pima County Jail for two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

"Once deputies made contact with him, they found out that he was an off-duty TPD officer," said PCSD Deputy Jesus Banuelos.

1. Unreal. What if that clerk had a gun too?

I see he seems to be wearing a vest. Makes ya wonder if he wasn't looking for a shoot out. A little booze & bullets. And this shithead is supposed to enforce laws? It's hard not to despise the police.
