Officer Barbara Nevers, a 14-year veteran, has also been ordered to undergo counseling.

The Police Board ruled in May that 55-year-old Nevers intimidated Starbucks employees by screaming at them and flashing her badge, handcuffs or gun when they wanted her to pay. The board released its findings Thursday.

Nevers' attorney says her client never used her job to demand coffee. She says some coffeehouses gave it to her for free because she was an officer.

Can this happen in Nigeria?

This WILL SURELY happen in Nigeria

They'll let him know he is stupid for not asking for much more than coffee. In Nigeria, his superior officers would have expected him to demand much more than that so that the loot can go round them

And what if the police officer asks for $10 dollars? _{naija police-men dey enjoy oo, 20naira, laff away, no jail or notin!}
