Raleigh, July 12—A charge of conduct unbecoming an officer caused the dismissal of Policeman M.C. Syles from the local police department Saturday night, Chief J. Winder Bryan announced after an investigation.
The charge was preferred by Mrs. W.H. Ray of 720 South Saunders street, who told the chief that Sykes insulted her on the street with an invitation to go motor riding with him.
Mrs. Ray charged that the incident occurred on Fayetteville street in front of Grant’s store early Saturday afternoon. She was on a shopping tour with her small daughter and was accosted by the policeman, who was off duty, several times before he stopped following her, she explained.
The matter was first laid before Commissioner Birdsong, who referred the woman to the police chief with a suggestion that she have a warrant issued against the policeman.
