Former officer who shot Rayshard Brooks sues over firing
Source: AP
ATLANTA (AP) The former Atlanta police officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks is suing the mayor and interim police chief, saying his firing violated his constitutional rights and the city code. Meanwhile, prosecutors have asked a judge to revoke his bond.
Garrett Rolfe was fired June 13, the day after he fatally shot Brooks outside a Wendy's restaurant in Atlanta. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Fulton County Superior Court, he says he was fired without an investigation, without proper notice, without a disciplinary hearing, and in direct violation of the municipal code of the City of Atlanta.
Rolfe, 27, faces 11 charges, including felony murder. He was granted bond June 30.
Also Tuesday, prosecutors filed a motion to revoke Rolfe's bond, saying he had traveled to Florida without permission. The bond order expressly states that the Defendant is only allowed to leave home for medical, legal, or work related obligations, the motion says.
