SEARCHThe officer “left the shooting scene and was later called to duty to assist with the shooting incident. Preliminary information indicates that McDonald provided false information to GBI agents about the shooting incident," GBI said.
A Thomson, GA, police officer was arrested last week and charged with Violation of Oath of Office, False Statements and Writing, and Tampering with evidence.
The charges stem from actions Angelika McDonald, 40, is accused of taking following a May 20 shooting at a block party when the officer was off duty.
The GBI said in a statement, “McDonald left the shooting scene and was later called to duty to assist with the shooting incident. Preliminary information indicates that McDonald provided false information to GBI agents about the shooting incident. The investigation also shows that McDonald provided instructions to a witness on how to conceal evidence in the case.”
GBI agents have determined that McDonald did not fire a weapon during the shooting.
The shooting is still under investigation.
