PANAMA — An unpaid reserve officer with the Panama Police Department will not be pulling any shifts until a federal investigation into his alleged harassment of a teen — including putting a loaded pistol to the teen’s head — is complete, the chief of the department said Friday.
In their reports, the teens claim Coffey was immediately verbally abusive, telling the young men to stay put, and using numerous profanities. At the time, witnesses said, Coffey had his gun drawn.
Once he removed the flashlight from Eric McKinney’s neck, McKinney opened his cell phone to call his dad. Witnesses said Coffey quickly “punched” it out of McKinney’s hand.
After knocking the phone away, McKinney and others said, Coffey put his police-issued Glock pistol to McKinney’s temple, pushing the teen’s head to the headrest.“He held the gun to Eric’s head for 30 or 45 seconds,” Josh Cox wrote,” screaming and cussing.”
