He was allowed to go home and put on a suit and fix his hair for the mugshot. LOL

Reading the CRS, under the circumstances reported by the media, this is a class 4 felony. Most likely, it will be plead down to a misdemeanor, with no time served, a fine, and maybe some community service. Or simply dropped once the media lose interest.

There should be all the additional charges...discharging a firearm in city limits...reckless handling of a firearm...brandishing...

What was the mag capacity?

They are giving him a token charge so this can all just go away. Anyone else they would have hit him with multiple charges and he would have had to bail out instead of being released to his boss.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yep.

Special privilege, and it isn't right.

Off-duty Iredell sheriff's deputy Craig Scannella was at a bowling alley in North Carolina when his handgun accidentally went off, and struck a 10-year-old.
Scannella was off duty at George Pappas Victory Lanes. He had a handgun in his right-front pocket with no holster, according to the Moorseville Tribune.
When he went to place his hand in his pocket, the firearm dischaged.The bullet struck the ground and broke into several pieces, with one of them striking the child in the back, leaving a two-inch wound, according to the Charlotte Observer.
The Iredell County District Attorney Sarah Kirkman reviewed the case and determined no criminal charges would be pursued.
However, the sheriff's office is conducting its own, separate investigation.
Deputy Scannella was put on leave pending the results of that investigation.

If someone is going to be playing a vigorous game of pocket pool, they need to put their pocketed firearm in a holster that covers the trigger.

It's hard to play pocket pool when they're holstered.......

I wonder if the Director got asked about Bishop at the press conference this afternoon or if it just focused on their "bigger" problems? Haven't seen or heard anything today but the case has probably fallen off the national radar.

Hopefully it has fallen off, kind of tired of hearing about it myself, the guy screwed up, give him what he's got coming, no special favors, and move on. I'm willing to bet, the guy pretty much hates his life right now, no sense in pouring more salt in the wound.
