PUNTA GORDA, Fla.- A Punta Gorda Police officer has been fired after his supervisors say he violated 10 different department policies in the course of a single evening.

Corpral Harvey Ayers was told to turn in all of his equipment Friday morning, after an internal affairs investigation determined that Ayers violated policies in order to impress a female passenger who was riding with him on the night of May 28th.

The violations included conduct unbecoming, untruthfulness and allowing the female passenger to carry a firearm and act as a police officer despite not being trained or sworn as an officer.
