NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla. – A North Palm Beach police officer accused of beating up his girlfriend wouldn’t wake up to have his booking photo taken.

Robert Szoyka slept through his own booking after being arrested by the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office last week. His photo shows his head being held up by a deputy’s hand.

Deputies said they found Szoyka asleep in his car after his girlfriend accused him of hitting her.

Szoyka was free on bond Monday afternoon. He has been suspended from the North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety.
