"I'm a cop, what are you going to do about it?"

'What Are You Going to Do About It?': Cop Allegedly Punches Husband After Harassing His Wife

The officer has been accused of punching a man whose wife rebuffed earlier advances the officer made inside the establishment, according to an arrest report that the New Smyrna Beach Police Department (NSBPD) provided to Newsweek Monday afternoon.


Authorities identified the accused officer as Naci Tuzcuoglu. Edgewater police confirmed in an email to Newsweek that Tuzcuoglu was an officer with their department.

The incident occurred shortly after midnight on Sunday at Peanuts Restaurant and Sports Bar in New Smyrna Beach, not far north of Edgewater in Volusia County and northeast of Orlando. Neither the man Tuzcuoglu allegedly punched nor the individual's wife were publicly identified in the NSBPD report.

The arrest report said Tuzcuoglu began interacting with the woman inside Peanuts while she was singing karaoke with her sister. When Tuzcuoglu placed his hands on the woman's hips, she told him she was married and not interested in his attention, according to the arrest report.

After Tuzcuoglu persisted, the woman went outside to talk with her husband. The couple told NSBPD they were then approached by Tuzcuoglu outside, who showed them his badge and said, "I'm a cop, what are you going to do about it?"

Tuzcuoglu allegedly punched the woman's husband multiple times before authorities arrived. The officer was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery, according to the NSBPD.

A Felony. And the cop gets his wrist slapped. Sounds like this is a bad cop. Watch all the cops circle the wagons and protect this predator cop.

Tuzcuoglu has not been with Edgewater police for even a full year. Chief Joe Mahoney swore him in last September 16. Now the chief is announcing that his suspension.



“The officer has been placed on suspension and an internal investigation has been initiated,” Mahoney wrote in a statement to Law&Crime. “He has been with EPD since September of 2020. He doesn’t have any prior disciplinary issues.”
