St. Cloud cop accused of harassing ex-girlfriend, fellow cop to be investigated

ST. CLOUD, Fla. —


The St. Cloud police chief said an officer will be criminally investigated after he harassed his ex-girlfriend and fellow officer, threatening to commit suicide.

St. Cloud police said they originally didn't plan on a formal internal investigation after one of its officers said a sergeant she dated was repeatedly harassing her.

Police Chief Pete Guantlett confirms they have since changed their minds.

"I'm in my room. I am armed right now. I don't know what he's going to do," St. Cloud police Officer Jennifer Hoyos said in a 911 call.

Hoyos made that call from her home after investigators said Sgt. John Nettles of the St. Cloud police wouldn't stop banging on her door and harassing her.

"My ex-boyfriend is here. I've been text-messaged that he's trying to commit suicide. He came here, he keeps knocking at my door, he won't go away," Hoyos said on the call.

Reports said Nettles repeatedly harassed Hoyos despite being told by his captain to leave her alone.
