Police Say Cops Who Shot 19 Year Old Liable To Criminal Charges
posted (May 28, 2014)

There's a 19 year old recovering from a gunshot wound in the Western Regional Hospital and the 6 shotgun pellets that were removed from his back were fired by police. A Cayo patrol shot Elston Arnold in Unitedville on Monday morning and left him for dead. 

Today the Police Department issued a sheepish press release saying, quote, "Police have launched an investigation into this matter where officers if found guilty will be liable to both criminal and internal charges." End quote.

Sources tell us the police department was late in catching up on the shooting because the police left Arnold on the ground where he was shot and did not report it. 

Arnold is recovering from surgery.
