A veteran Philadelphia police officer was suspended and may be fired after he reportedly kidnapped his estranged wife - also a police officer - at gunpoint Tuesday, an Internal Affairs supervisor said.

Officer Stephan Logan, a 19-year veteran assigned to Philadelphia International Airport, allegedly went to the woman's Oak Lane home at 5:15 a.m., brandished a loaded handgun and forced her into his car, said Chief Inspector William Colarulo.

The woman, a 17-year police veteran who works as a corporal in the Special Victims Unit, talked her estranged husband into freeing her after a short time, Colarulo said. Logan released her in the parking lot of a Pathmark on Monument Road near City Avenue in River Park, he added.

Logan, 47, was charged with kidnapping, burglary, criminal trespassing, terroristic threats, false imprisonment and related offenses, Colarulo said.

He was suspended without pay with the intent to dismiss. *
