Off Duty Masked Cop Beats Woman With Bat

A 30 year veteran police officer Gregory Thompson, 53 was arrested after allegedly donning a mask and beating a woman with a baseball bat. Calls of a screaming woman at 2 AM on Aug 16 brought LE to the scene where they found Thompson in his car with 2 guns, a bat, zip ties and a mask. The woman who had run out of gas was looking for help when she was attacked in Walnut Creek, Ca. Another woman had saved her and fought with Thompson, allowing her to get away.

A motive in the case was not clear. But Thompson's family has a one-story, two-bedroom home on sale for $289,000 two blocks from where the incident occurred, records show. The home had been on the market for nine days when the incident occurred.

"This appears to be a random incident," said French, adding that the woman and Thompson did not know each other.

Very odd, has he done this before?
