Allegedly, officers who were assigned to probe the shooting incident relieved the acting sergeant of his firearm, along with two magazines, one containing a single round and the other 13 rounds.
The officer – a resident of Cashew Hill – was also instructed to see Commissioner of Police Atlee Rodney at 8 a.m. last Monday, December 4, reports claim.
However, there have been no reports of how this interaction went and, allegedly, the officer is still on active duty.
There have not been any reports of charges proffered being against him, either.
Sources say that a report of the shooting incident had been made by a Follies resident at the Willikies Police Station.

Reportedly, he told officers he had witnessed an unknown male exiting a vehicle and shooting at the tyres of another vehicle at about 9 a.m. on December 3, in the vicinity of Emerald Cove.
As a result of the report, officers from the “B” Division visited the scene.
Upon their arrival, they reportedly observed a white Toyota Mark X motorcar, registration A 43684, parked off the northern side of the road and facing east.
The officers reportedly examined the vehicle and noted several bullet holes in the left rear door of the car, near the handle.
Apparently, there were several spent shells on the ground on the southern side of the motorcar.

That is the problem with the Police Force….You have members who believe a uniform, a number and firearm means above the law..Me cyan do as ma like cause ah POLICE MA BE…..
Atlee Rodney is going to say the officer is free of wrong doing. We’re lucky the officer was even made to surrender his weapon. That was only because the matter became public and people are watching. Keep on shaming them and calling them out.
The Police Officers need to separate their personal feelings from their professional duties.There should be a Psychologist attached to the Police Force to teach and in still those differences.Perhaps the Police would be able to make better judgments and decisions.
He will get away with it he always does, but police officers losing they jobs for less. This CPL feel he is untouchable. Keep y’all feet on our necks until our heads do better
Fuh he rass very trigger happy, the first thing he always choose to do is pull his gun before he think to do anything else, but live by the gun….die by the gun
