A Fort Worth police officer is accused of making a ‘terroristic threat’ to a family member
A Fort Worth police officer has been charged with terroristic threat of a family member, the department said in a news release Thursday.
Cpl. Brandon Parker turned himself in Tuesday after the Fort Worth Police Department issued a warrant for his arrest. He’s been stripped of all police powers and placed on restricted duty.
Parker faces a criminal investigation, and the Internal Affairs Unit has begun an administrative investigation into the allegations against him. Authorities have not disclosed the nature of the threat.
“The Fort Worth Police Department holds its officers to a high standard on and off duty; therefore, a thorough investigation to collect and review the facts and the circumstances of these allegations will be conducted,” the release states.
Parker has been a member of the Police Department for seven years. He was most recently assigned to the Patrol Bureau.
