• A MET cop has been sacked after farting in a female officer’s face and laughing when she refused to “pull his finger”.
• PC Wayne Sansom is one of two officers who have been axed following gross misconduct.
• He asked a WPC to pull his finger at Wembley Police Station in northwest London on November 2021.
• Fellow officer PC Ben Jeffries is said to have made “inappropriate and discourteous comments” to the same female officer.
• Russell Ford, for the Met Police, previously told a hearing: “When she declined he passed wind in her face from around 10-15 cm away.”
• PC Sansom “agrees to the ‘pull my finger’ remark” but denied he actually broke wind.PC Jeffries also took a picture of his testicles using the female officer’s mobile phone at an Extinction Rebellion protest on 25 August 2021.
• A nine-day hearing found that both officers had breached the standards of professional behaviour in relation to discreditable conduct, authority, respect and courtesy, and equality and diversity.
• It was heard that on multiple occasions, dating back to 2020, the officers made racist, misogynistic, sexual and homophobic remarks to several colleagues while on duty.
