2 LA Police Officers Play Pokémon Go On Patrol Get Fired

Two Los Angeles officers have lost their jobs after playing Pokémon GO, on duty. Instead of responding to a nearby call, Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell were caught searching for Pokémon characters through the Pokémon GO app, according to a ruling this month from a California appellate court. That Saturday, a radio call for “a 211 (robbery) in progress” had been sent out, according to the ruling. The Macy’s at Crenshaw Plaza, located southwest of downtown Los Angeles, was being robbed by multiple suspects.

The ruling notes that Capt. Darnell Davenport heard the call come in as he was heading to a homicide scene. From where he was located, he could see the Macy’s and another police car that was tucked away in an alley. Inside this patrol car were Lozano and Mitchell. To Read More Click Here.
