Update On Officer McGowan

May 19th, 2010 By Bob Walsh Regular readers will remember that former Officer McGowan is looking at federal prison time on an unbelievably bizarre beef. Among other things, he is accused of thumping a prisoner. The prisoner described the cop who thumped him as an average size guy, possibly hispanic. McGowan is a 6-3 Mick. The Department cleared him, the DA cleared him, but the feds wanted a piece of him, and they have been going after him with gusto. His next court date is May 26.
