A police sergeant from Wyoming is facing serious allegations of stalking and harassment involving a nurse at a local hospital, as detailed in court documents. Reports suggest that the officer, identified as Nicholas Joseph Kaminski, 36, was armed with a loaded Glock handgun during the incidents.
The Cowboy State Daily reports that Kaminski, who was detained last week, has been suspended from his duties following accusations that he persistently harassed a nurse employed at Weston County Health Services Hospital. According to an arrest affidavit accessed by the publication, Kaminski sent numerous text messages and made several calls to the nurse while stationed outside the hospital.
Within these communications, Kaminski allegedly issued a threatening ultimatum, instructing the nurse to exit the building within three minutes or face his entry into the hospital. The motive behind his threats remains unclear.
“You have 3 minutes to either come out here or answer the phone,” Kaminski purportedly texted. “Answer the [expletive] phone,” he continued in a flurry of messages.
According to the affidavit, the sergeant further pressured the nurse by claiming she exacerbated the situation by not complying with his demands. The nurse reportedly responded, pleading, “Please just stop all of this. It doesn’t have to be like this. You are the only one making it this way. Please.”
Kaminski eventually left but continued calling and texting the woman throughout the night, according to police. A hospital employee reported seeing a man dressed in dark clothing that appeared to be Kaminski lurking outside around 3:30 a.m., the affidavit says.
As the nurse prepared to head home, Kaminski appeared again outside the hospital and was spotted heading toward the woman’s car while she was leaving just before 4 a.m., according to the affidavit. A Weston County law enforcement officer was with her and allegedly ordered Kaminski to leave.
“She doesn’t want to talk to you,” the officer allegedly said.
“I don’t give a f—,” Kaminski replied, according to the affidavit. “Shut the f— up.”
Kaminski then “started to sprint towards the vehicle,” the affidavit states.
The former cop was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and battery and threatening another person with a drawn deadly weapon after police found a loaded Glock 48 handgun on him, with one round chambered and 10 rounds in the magazine.
A large folding knife, brass knuckles and a cellphone were also found on Kaminski, according to the affidavit. He is due to appear in court Tuesday.
