A high-ranking Metropolitan Police Department officer made good on his threat to file a whistleblower suit over a demotion he says happened because he blamed MPD leadership for authorizing a motorcade last year for Charlie Sheen.

The AP reports that a former D.C. police commander plans to sue the city claiming he was demoted for saying that a police escort last year for Charlie Sheen was a routine operation.

Chief Cathy Lanier’s on the war path. In addition to threatening to fire several police officers involved in a recent incident in Columbia Heights, Lanier has handed Commander Hilton Burton — who sharply criticized Lanier during a Council hearing on the Charlie Sheen police escort fiasco — a demotion.
