Cop Fued Over ‘Top Gun: Maverick’
According to the official documents, Dominic Gaynor took out his gun and pointed it at fellow officer Morgan Royston after Royston threatened to spoil the film as he had watched it a day prior. The court documents revealed that Royston told Gaynor “I’ll spoil it for you” to which Gaynor responded, “Don’t spoil the movie” and “I’ll shoot you.”
Dominic Gaynor’s lawyer Chris Micali described the incident as a “case where the skylarking and tomfoolery in an employment context has gone awry.” As a result of such an unprofessional act, Gaynor was convicted and given a community correction order for two years and 100 hours of community service. The cop was also suspended without pay earlier in the week.
