Charlie Sheen isn't the only one the actor's outlandish behavior has gotten in trouble.

A former Washington, D.C., police commander whose division provided Sheen a police escort last April has given notice that he intends to file a whistleblower lawsuit against the city, saying he was demoted because he testified to the D.C. Council that such escorts for celebrities were commonplace.

Hilton Burton was demoted in August as commander of the special operations division and transferred to the medical services branch. In a whistleblower notice filed with the city and obtained by The Associated Press, Burton alleges the demotion was punishment for telling the council that there was nothing inappropriate or unusual about the escort provided to Sheen.

His testimony contradicted statements from Police Chief Cathy Lanier, who appeared at the same hearing and has said the escort – provided with flashing lights and police sirens – broke with department policy.
