The 33-year old Knippenberg has been charged with making terroristic threats, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison if he's convicted.
Lotta that going around.

My favorite part:
Quote:
Knippenberg resigned from the force Oct. 26 after seeing the results of an internal investigation, said a State Patrol spokesman, who would not disclose the results of the investigation or say what it was about.


Highly-decorated, too:
Quote:
Knippenberg joined the force in 1998 and worked out of the State Patrol's Oakdale office.

During his service, he earned 13 commendations and three life-saving awards. He also won an Eagle Squadron award for recording the most DWI arrests in the State Patrol in 2000.

Quotas, eh?

You may have missed the money quote:

Quote:
In January 2001, Knippenberg received a letter of reprimand for failing on at least one occasion to tape-record himself informing DWI suspects of their rights regarding blood-alcohol concentration tests.


Easier to get the convictions when you skip steps...

I disagree. I think the money quote is:

Knippenberg also has been accused of pulling out his service handgun and pointing it at a girlfriend's head during an argument at her Oakdale home in June 2006...Knippenberg resigned from the force Oct. 26 [2007]


Yup. For rather more than a year after apparently -- unless one wishes to believe the assumed "that bitch is lying, too" defense -- putting his official handgun to a girlfriend's head during an argument, this fine, upstanding public servant was driving about with a badge and a gun.

Hell, maybe he only commits felony assaults against those he loves....
