SWANTON TOWNSHIP -- An Ohio Highway Patrol trooper was fired Wednesday for allegedly firing a gun in front of a Swanton Township home while off-duty and filing a false report about a stolen gun. Trooper Rosemary Sullivan, a 10-year veteran assigned to the Swanton post, was fired for untruthfulness and conduct unbecoming an officer, said a patrol spokesman, Lt. Gary Lewis.
The patrol conducted a predisciplinary hearing Tuesday. Sullivan's firing was recommended during the hearing. A Lucas County grand jury indicted Sullivan on July 13 on one count of aggravated menacing and two counts each of evidence tampering and falsification.
A witness told investigators that Sullivan and her husband argued with the woman's teenage sons on June 1 about riding all-terrain vehicles and bicycles. At first, the woman told investigators that an hour after the argument occurred, she saw Sullivan fire a gun from a passing vehicle. Later, she said she didn't see Sullivan. One son told investigators he saw the flash of a weapon fired from a Jeep similar to Sullivan's. A shell casing was found near the roadway, investigators said.
The evidence-tampering charge arises from an accusation that Sullivan filed a false police report about a stolen gun, Lucas County sheriff's Detective Rob Sarahman said. Two weeks after the investigation into the shooting began, Sullivan reported that a .40-caliber Beretta was stolen from a bedroom between Dec. 26 and June 16. The patrol used that type of gun until 1996.
In her ten years of "service",I wonder how many innocent drivers got screwed over by her.
Now that the system has discarded it's debris, maybe it will stay a little cleaner for a while. JMHO!
