A misdemeanor charge has been authorized against a Flint police officer whose sidearm fired during a wrestling tournament at a high school in Livingston County, according to the county prosecutor.
One count of careless discharge of a firearm causing damage to property over $50 was authorized May 22 against the officer, according to Livingston County Prosecutor William Vailliencourt.
MLive-The Flint Journal is not identifying the police officer because he has not been arraigned on the charge.
Vailliencourt said the man will be arraigned at 8:30 a.m. on June 7 in Livingston District Court.
He faces up to a year in jail or a $500 if convicted of the misdemeanor.
Vailliencourt would not discuss specific details of the case. |

"a Flint police officer whose sidearm fired"
All by itself?? What an odd way to state that he negligently fired his sidearm. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
