A deputy tasked with patrolling the Florida high school that was targeted by a mass killer last month was suspended Monday after falling asleep in his patrol car, according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office.

Deputy Moises Carotti will remain off the job without pay until the department finishes an internal investigation. His suspension is the latest embarrassment for the department, which has been the target of criticism since the Valentine's Day shooting in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 dead.

The incident also came as police arrested three students Tuesday in separate incidents. Two students were charged after being accused of bringing knives to the school. Another was arrested after sending "threatening" photos on social media of a gun and bullets, the department said.

On Monday evening, a sergeant was patrolling inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School when a student alerted him that a deputy was sleeping outside, said Veda Coleman-Wright, a spokeswoman for the department.

Well, so much for that "good guy with a gun" theory. I guess the only good thing about this is that the other officer reported it. Too often they cover up for each other.
 
No Excuse for that ... but just wait ...

We had a neighbor who was an ER nurse. He was fired and lost his nursing license for "patient abandonment." He went out and took a brief nap in his car when he was supposed to be working. Let's see if the same thing happens here.
