The Greensboro City Council unanimously votes to release information related to the alleged assault of a a female GPD officer by three fellow on-duty officers.
Yet the details are as cloudy as they were when the story broke two weeks ago:
…..the female officer reported that she and a friend were leaving the area of Four Seasons Town Centre — Hastings wouldn’t be more specific — when they saw Wallace, LeGrand and Stevens.
The three on-duty officers allegedly offered them a ride, Hastings said, which they accepted. The alleged victim said the sexual assault occurred “in transit,” Hastings said, but it’s unclear whether they were in a department-owned vehicle.
Hastings said there is only one alleged victim, the female officer, who filed her complaint with the police department’s Internal Affairs Division.
Hastings said the criminal investigation is under way; an administrative investigation will follow when that’s complete.
This is messed up, man, especially since GPD is looking at an extra $500k to fight the crime wave in Greensboro, yet we have three officers wasting valuable work time, to say the least.
This one’s totally on the last council’s (and City Manager Mitchell Johnson’s) hand-picked choice for police chief, Tim Bellamy. The fallout will indeed be interesting, as will any investigative work by the N&R, considering the fact that they’re “playing it tough” and have filed suit seeking more details related to the investigation.
