PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Two police officers are under investigation for allegedly using their influence to skip a long line of shoppers waiting to buy the PlayStation 3 video game system the day it went on sale, authorities said.
On Nov. 17, witnesses said, a line of customers had formed outside the Sony store at the Providence Place Mall when two security guards allowed seven people to skip ahead of everyone else, WJAR-TV reported.
One of the seven people was a Providence police officer who later admitted skipping the line to his superiors, Providence Police Chief Dean Esserman said. The officer claimed he did not do anything wrong.
I just beg to differ. We think he did something very wrong,” Esserman said. “He’s been identified and he’s going to be disciplined.”
