Avon and Somerset Police have today (Tuesday February 18) charged two men and reported a third for summons in connection with the offence of misconduct in a public office.
Having reviewed the police file, Nicola Haywood, head of the Crown Prosecution Service’s South West Complex Casework Unit, felt there was sufficient evidence and it was in the public interest to charge Michael Anthony O’Sullivan, aged 54 of Merthyr Tydfil; Nigel Barnett, aged 51, of Bargoed in Mid-Glamorgan; and report for summons Daniel Perkins, aged 48, of Brynmawr, Gwent.
All three are due to appear at Bristol Magistrates court on April 22 2014.
The misconduct is alleged to have taken place between June and October 2012. The investigation was carried out by Avon and Somerset Police at the request of Gwent Police.
