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 |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
