A South Carolina cop was recently arrested after his girlfriend
reported that he punched her in the face five times because her
abortion procedure took "too long" and made him late for work.
RawStory reports:
A South Carolina police officer has been arrested on domestic assault
violence charges becoming angry that his girlfriend's abortion had
taken too long.
Officer Sierra Shivers was placed on unpaid leave by the North
Charleston Police Department pending the outcome of an internal
investigation of the incident.
An affidavit accuses the 38-year-old Shivers of punching the
unidentified woman approximately five times in the left side of her
face the morning of Jan. 3.
Investigators said Shivers had given the woman a ride to the women's
health clinic to terminate her pregnancy but became angry about 11
a.m. because the procedure had made him late for work.
The officer said the delay had gotten in the way of him filling out
required paperwork when he arrived at the police station, the
affidavit shows.
Police said Shivers told the woman not to say anything about the
assault before dropping her off at a hotel.
The woman called police later that day, and officers said her face was
still swollen when they met with her about 6:30 a.m. Monday.
The woman told deputies that Shivers had been pressuring her to have
an abortion and threatened to have her loved ones arrested using
planted evidence if she did not.
She was 10 weeks pregnant when she had the abortion, authorities said.
