A Fort Lauderdale cop is out of a job after he put a paper bag over the head of a spitting mad perp.
Part-time reserve Officer John Wezkiewicz had been with the force 20 years before he was sent home last month, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
The incident that got him fired happened Nov. 1, when a man, Gerald Feldhaus, was arrested outside Yolo Restaurant on Las Olas for trespassing and resisting arrest.
"He was spitting and screaming as he would look and yell at other people," Wezkiewicz told investigators.
