A Sydney police officer who pointed his gun towards a colleague after warning him not to reveal spoilers about the movie Top Gun: Maverick has been handed a two-year good behaviour bond and a conviction.
Constable Dominic Francis Gaynor was working behind the counter at Day Street Police Station, in the CBD, in May.
According to court documents the complainant, 26-year-old Probationary Constable Morgan Royston, saw the Tom Cruise blockbuster the previous night and told Gaynor: "I'll spoil it for you."
The agreed facts state Gaynor, 30, then laughed as a different colleague left the room and said: "Don't spoil the movie, c***".
Gaynor is also quoted as saying: "I'll shoot you."
The agreed facts say Gaynor then took his Glock out of its holster.
"He pointed his firearm at the vicinity of the complainant and held it stationary for five seconds," the documents say.
"The offender's finger was on the receiver and not the trigger. The offender was laughing throughout this incident."
Gaynor pleaded guilty to carrying a firearm with disregard for the complainant's safety.
