CANTON—
Canton police are investigating a verbal altercation between an officer and a driver who had a concealed carry permit for a gun.
Officer Daniel Harless was placed on administrative leave after the incident on June 8, according to Police Chief Dean McKimm.
By law in Ohio, drivers who are legally carrying guns, are supposed to tell officers immediately during a traffic stop if they have a gun in the car.
Twice after Officer Harless approached the driver's side of the car, William Bartlett speaks.
Once, he says "I got" but doesn't finish his thought. The next time, he says, "before I get... I've never had to do this yet" but doesn't finish that thought as the officer asks for his drivers license.
About thirty seconds later, when he's out of the car, Bartlett says "I have a concealed carry."
"You have a gun on you?," Officer Harless asks.
A couple moments later, Harless becomes angry.
"You're supposed to tell me when you have a weapon," he says.
"I was trying to," Bartlett replies.
"You're supposed to say that right off the [expletive] bat," Harless shouts.
Ohioans for a Concealed Carry say the officer was way out of line.
