“Was there anything more the police could have done, as the commissioner had said at that last all officers conference that we will proceed with charges, let them drop it at court.”

“Well that is what occurred.  That is what occurred because he was before the court and those charges were dropped at the court.”

“What were his charges sir?”

ACP Joseph Myvett

“One of them was aggravated assault with a firearm and then I am not able to say the rest, I would have to do some research to gather the rest of charges, but I am certain that one was an aggravated assault with a firearm.”
