Overview

• Dominic Gaynor, a 30-year-old Australian police officer, has been sentenced for pulling a gun on his colleague, Morgan Royston, who threatened to spoil the ending of the latest Top Gun film.
• Gaynor has been placed on a community corrections order for two years, handed 100 hours of community service, and recorded a conviction.
• The incident occurred when Gaynor removed his pistol from the holster and aimed it at Royston, holding it in position for five seconds while laughing.
• Royston, who has since left the police force, fell into depression after the incident and stated that he had 'completely lost trust' in the New South Wales Police Force.
• Gaynor's lawyer, Cris Micali, argued that the incident was a case of 'skylarking and tomfoolery' that had gone awry, and denied that his client had any malicious intent to scare or intimidate Royston.
