The police union that represents Officer Bethany Guerriero confirms the Palm Beach Gardens officer has been reinstated.
In May 2023, surveillance video showed Guerriero pulling a gun on a man named Ryan Gould after Gould says he called 911 to report a man in the complex threatened him. Gould was unarmed, in a bathing suit, and says he was wrongly arrested.
He says the charges were dropped as he was being processed to enter Palm Beach County Jail.
After an internal investigation, police fired Guerriero in September 2023. WPTV's Dave Bohman checked her personnel file and found she had been suspended for misusing police equipment, but also had commendations for rescuing a man after a traffic accident.

Fired officer faces lawsuit after gun pulled on unarmed man
The head of the union representing Guerriero tells me she got her job back after arbitration.
Bohman did reach out to Palm Beach Gardens police. A spokesperson would not answer questions about the reinstatement.
In January, Gould filed a lawsuit against the reinstated officer and the police department.
