Dismissal | Employee sacked for 'breaking wind' at work

A Police Officer has been dismissed from her post, following a string of inappropriate behaviour including breaking wind in her police station and using the C-word repeatedly.

Detective Constable Claire Fitzpatrick admitted to passing wind outside the Sergeant’s office after she was summoned to a disciplinary hearing where she revealed: “It wasn’t deliberate,” The Sun reported.

She confessed to also using foul language while on duty, but claimed it was part of the ‘culture of banter’ at the station. She said:

“I would joke about it. Sometimes I would speak like the character Borat or use a silly voice to say: ‘Rather out than in’."
