Police officer bagging husband's axe (7)
I believe the answer is:
chopper
'axe' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'police officer bagging husband's' is the wordplay.
'police officer' becomes 'copper' (copper can informally mean a police officer).
'bagging' means one lot of letters goes inside another (I've seen this in other clues).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'copper' going around 'h' is 'CHOPPER'.
(Other definitions for chopper that I've seen before include "Lizzie Borden" , "An informal helicopter, or an axe" , "Small axe" , "Blade" , "Motorbike" .)
