A DRUNK police officer out celebrating the completion of a three-day Taser course has been sacked for gross misconduct after mimicking wielding the device and assaulting a man.

PC Lee Ribera of Norfolk Constabulary had “gone out that night … elated at passing his Taser course,” a report about a disciplinary hearing said.

The officer, who joined the force in 2022, was said to have been “heavily intoxicated” after attending a Wetherspoons pub in Norwich in September last year.
