When Sean Beasley honked at a driver who cut him off, he never expected what would unfold.<\/p>\n

At the next red light Beasley said the other driver got out of his car and the pair got in a scuffle, with Beasley claiming he was struck and grabbed around the throat.<\/p>\n

After making a complaint to police, Beasley discovered his alleged attacker was off-duty Sergeant Glen Morey and an internal investigation found there was insufficient evidence to press charges.<\/p>\n
