Fury as policemans is sacked after revealing knife teenager 'lack of courtesy and regard' on arrest


On the day of the arrest, the panel heard that the young boy was thought of assaulting a senior man while riding an e-scooter before getting involved in a fracas with another youth outside McDonalds.


PC Castle, who has twice won a national bravery award consisting of one for saving a senior woman from drowning in an inflamed river in 2023, spotted the suspect walking up Richmond Hill in Bournemouth before the stop.


His coworker tried to step in to relax the circumstance numerous times but was all but disregarded by PC Castle, video footage shows.


Giving evidence, PC Castle stated he became 'overwhelmed and frightened' when the boy withstood as his mind flashed back to his arrest of a county lines drug dealership 18 months earlier which led him fearing for his life.


As the officer battled with the dealer, his partner who was backed up was being informed to 'cut him' - before an off-duty officer intervened to defend him.

'I did not put my full weight on him as my knees were on the concrete. I just applied sufficient weight to keep his body still.


PC Lorne Castle admitted that he 'lost control' throughout the arrest and tearfully apologised for his 'out of character' actions at a cops disciplinary hearing


'During the arrest I saw the knife fall out of his waistband so he was apprehended for a knife offence. I believe the arrest required to be made however I lost control of the scenario.'


Mark Ley Morgan, representing Dorset Police at the hearing, stated the knife was not relevant as PC Castle did not understand the kid had it when making the arrest.


Mr Morgan said: 'PC Castle breached requirements of expert behaviour by stopping working to show self control and stopping working to treat him with courtesy or respect.


'He abused his power and authority and his behaviour weakened self-confidence in the police.


'It was completely unnecessary and out of proportion, and it is so severe that termination would be warranted.'


'PC Castle has let the cops service and his associates down and he does not represent the lots of hard-working officers and personnel of Dorset Police.


'The outcome reflects the severity of this matter and ensures that he will no longer hold a function in policing and the benefit of constable.


'I am grateful to the officers for having the nerve to do the best thing and report their concerns about PC Castle's actions.'

But the judgment showed divisive with lots of responding online and speaking up in assistance of the officer.


Norman Brennan, a retired policeman and creator of the project group Protect the Protectors, implicated Dorset Police of tossing PC Castle 'under a bus'.


He said: 'Senior officers at Dorset Police have taken leave of their senses. This decision epitomises how they have actually lost touch with the danger and reality of frontline policing. It is bloody insanity.


'Police officers when facing unpredictable or violent scenarios will sometimes swear and utilize some unsavoury words.


'All arrests involve some kind of force and pressing somebody even in the face during a struggle is not constantly intentional and even if it is its part and parcel in many arrests when restraining a suspect. No arrest is without some sort of force.


'I'm sick and fed up with officers being disciplined for things like this and I think most of the public would believe this is absolutely bonkers.


'Many senior officers kowtow to the constant criticism of the police in a sort of appeasement and typically toss officers under the bus or to the wolves as sacrificial lambs. Cases like this are more most likely to hinder people from joining the cops.'
