NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A police officer used fake email addresses to order 26 free pints during England’s win against Germany during the Euros 2020, a misconduct hearing has found.
Despite there being a one-per-person limit, Paul Elliott and his friends exploited a Heineken promotional offer in a Sheffield pub to secure the pints.
A hearing in Goole, East Yorkshire, which Elliott did not turn up to, was told the incident took place while he was with friends in the Loxley Sports Bar and Grill in Sheffield on June 29, 2021.
Elliott, who had three years’ service, would have been sacked if he had not already resigned as a Humberside officer after the tribunal ruled his dishonesty amounted to gross misconduct.
