A former Birchwood Police Officer will not be allowed to have another job in the force.

Online court records show 56-year-old Peter Weatherhead pleaded guilty Monday to a count of disorderly conduct and also negligent operation of a vehicle.

Weatherhead got two years probation in Barron County Court Monday.

Attorneys say that means Weatherhead can't try for a law enforcement job during that time.

Weatherhead was originally charged for sexual assault but that charge was amended.

Court documents show a 50-year-old woman told investigators that Weatherhead showed up at her house one night and appeared drunk.

According to a criminal complaint, after talking with Weatherhead for about an hour, he pinned her against a wall for several minutes and rubbed against her.

She told investigators she called a friend because she was afraid to call 911 because he might be the officer responding.

Ok, now if read this right, a drunk cop in a squad car, rolls up on a woman's house, molests her and gets probation? The most serious punishment for this is he can't be cop for 2 years?
This truly is the land of the bizzaroism

This is why police officers need to be tried by impartial Military tribunals. Local Judges and Prosecutors rub elbows with local cops day in and day out and as a result show undue bias in favor of said police officers.

Well if they are suspected of committing a crime. That way it also keeps it from turning into a Media Circus as the Military handles things in a far more professional way.
