jackie harris shooting

Retired Fulton County Superior Court Judge Doris Downs presided over Harris’ 2016 trial.

In the Brooks case, Howard announced he was charging Rolfe with 11 criminal counts on Wednesday, following an investigation started just five days before. The Atlanta police officer who recently killed Rayshard Brooks was involved in another controversial police shooting in 2015 — a case that a local judge found so troubling, she's still bothered by it to this day.

Brooks, who was black, had gotten into a scuffle with Rolfe and officer Devin Brosnan.

The driver of the U-Haul, later identified as Jackie Harris, 45, traveled south on Highway 29 at a high rate of speed and reportedly caused cars to run off the road. In 1992, he became a full-time starter until the seventh game of the season and still registered 55 receptions, which ranked second on the team and second in the NFL for tight ends. "We tried to use stop sticks three more times," the news release said. In 258 cases over three years, a Taser failed to subdue someone who was then shot and killed by police. You know, it happens,'" Downs recalled.

However, Wilson and Harris never officially divorced. Michael O'Connor told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution at the time that Harris "had a weapon — a 3,000-pound pickup truck. Harris’ attorney, Serena Nunn, said five shots were fired in all — three from Rolfe’s service weapon. He was placed on the injured reserve list before the divisional playoff game against the Green Bay Packers, due to complications from his recent hernia surgery. The driver of the U-Haul reportedly swerved toward police attempting to deploy stop sticks. But the details of the 2015 shooting haven’t been widely reported. [2] He received NFC Offensive Player of the Week after tallying 5 catches for 128 yards (team record for tight ends), including a career-long 66-yard touchdown, against the Denver Broncos. "I also feel that the Atlanta Police Department is trying to cover up their wrong doing.". She told the AJC Friday she didn’t remember the case.

In 1995, he started 16 games for the first time in his career, recording career-highs with 62 receptions (team record for tight ends) for 751 yards. But the police report on the matter failed to mention the shootings. He received a written reprimand for the violation more than a year later, in 2017, but the department has not released details on how he violated the policy, which covers the circumstances under which officers can point their weapons and when they are allowed to fire them. He had a school and conference record with 16 receptions against Lamar University.

Illuminating Journalism from American Public Media. Rolfe was one of three officers who fired their guns that night. A spokesperson for the GBI said the agency couldn't find any information on the judge's report And Downs said she never heard back from the agency. One of the bullets struck the suspect, Jackie Harris, collapsing his lung, according to court records. No officers were injured during this incident.
