CPD fires officer for âunsatisfactory performanceâ
CPD fires officer for âunsatisfactory performanceâ By Laurel Mallory | February 19, 2021 at 1:57 PM EST - Updated February 20 at 11:23 AM
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - The Columbia Police Department has fired one of its officers for âunsatisfactory performance,â officials said Friday.
Officer Sean Rollins was fired Feb. 17.
Rollins is named in a lawsuit against the department for shooting Sir Brandon Legette in 2019.
Legetteâs attorney released footage of the incident in June 2020, when the lawsuit was filed. CPD quickly released its own footage and backed up Rollins, saying Legette and his attorney were âmisrepresenting the facts.â
“Something’s not right and I need to know what happened because I am not going to rest until I find out,” Janira Wimberly said.
The night of the shooting, authorities released very few details, only to say that it happened during the course of a large-scale financial investigation involving agents from Homeland Security. Coral Gables police was assisting to help set up a perimeter.
“During a large-scale financial investigation, an individual brandished a weapon at special agents with Homeland Security Investigations, as a result, agents fired at the suspect,” agency spokesman Nestor Yglesias said in a statement. NBC 6 s Derrick Lewis has more on what officials are saying led to agents opening fire Friday.
Sheriff’s deputies shot and killed a white man who confronted them with two large knives at a home where domestic violence had been reported, police said Thursday.
