Officers were sent to his address and during the course of their response, PC Doyle allegedly became verbally abusive towards them.
The former police officer, who resigned from Thames Valley Police on September 5, 2021, is the subject of a misconduct hearing set to take place at the end of the month.
Here, a panel will decide if Doyle breached the force’s behaviour standards and if he should have been sacked if he was still a serving police officer.
