If you see him be scared, very scared.



The fired Hearne police officer who shot and killed a 93-year-old woman last month was suspended twice during his time with the Bryan Police Department.

Employment records obtained by The Eagle show that Stephen Stem, 28, was placed on a 90-day voluntary agreed suspension in July 2011 following an incident in which Stem pointed a gun at an innocent bystander and a suspect while another officer was in his field of fire, according to a departmental memo from Chief of Police Eric Buske.

Stem, a 2008 Texas A&M graduate who listed himself as a member of the Corps of Cadets on his resume, was fired by the Hearne City Council on May 10, four days after shooting Pearlie Golden outside her home in the 1400 block of Pin Oak Street.

Before joining the Hearne Police Department in July 2012, Stem spent almost three years as a Bryan officer before taking a position with the Lott Police Department in Falls County on July 28, 2011 -- 21 days after being suspended from Bryan and almost three months before officially resigning from the department.
