A Louisiana officer who claimed someone shot him actually shot himself, police say

John Michael Goulart Jr., 25, was arrested Tuesday and charged with one count of criminal mischief and one count of malfeasance in office after falsely claiming he'd been shot, according to Basco."The investigation led to a determination that the officer shot himself, concealed and altered the facts," according to a statement from Basco. Around 11:50 p.m. Sunday night, Goulart, who was on duty, reported that he had been shot, according to Basco.

One hit Goulart in the leg and the other hit the door of his vehicle."Everything shows it was an accidental discharge," Basco said. However, he added that accidental discharge incidents require a review by the chief of police and raise the possibility of disciplinary action. CNN was unable to reach Goulart on Wednesday and was unable to determine if he had legal representation. Goulart was booked at the Rapides Parish Detention Center, according to jail records.

Just imagine the years of lying about stats

He needs to be fired and charged with assaulting a police officer.

RachelDecoste The officer must be disciplined, fired and banned from any and all forms of law enforcement. He is both unethical and mentally unfit to safeguard the public. No exceptions.

clearly this was self defense

Lmao they really will just hand any half brained clown a gun and a badge

🙃

as American as justonebadapple pie. murica

🤣🤣🤣🤣

See how quickly they arrested this cop for shooting himself? Kill an unarmed black person....

Disgusting. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon.

Hector_E_Alcala There eat easier ways to quit your job.

Just guessing here. He claimed he was shot by a black guy

Some of these cops are no better than the conmen and criminals they go after

Another “one bad apple”

This isn’t surprising. The job requirements to be hired as a LA police officer are basically to be alive and not a convicted felon. They make about the same $$$ as a entry level retail clerk. Ridiculous.

CNN is so deep in politics and pushing their agenda, I can never believe another story from

Real cool jerk.

Can’t even own up to his own mistake, disgraceful!! StupidHuman

samswey I would love to see his official report and see if he described the fake assailant.

DefundThePolice EndQualifiedImmunity

samswey So he lied.

samswey Tough luck there, Officer Smollett.

What CNN? You didn't cover the cop's fake story for several and push that narrative? Hmmm....

samswey So he lied.

samswey Cause they lie

Imagine being so racist you shoot yourself to make black people look bad

Black Lives Matter will still be blamed for this. Blue Lives Matter is gonna start a Gofundme for this honorable officer.

marcellacomedy Just, wow.

PatBlanchfield Did he get paid administrative leave and also sue the city for police misconduct?

A cop that lies... Naww!

Crazy people who become police officers.

Backtheblue on this lying guy as well I guess.

What you expect now . Corrupt official stalled in every and each govt org in last 4 years. Honest one either fired or demoted or resigned.

He looks like one of your looney lefties. He’s definitely not a Trump supporter. You should all take yourselves out ❤️

If Barney didn’t think a forensic test would be performed to determine a match in ballistics, he belongs taking tickets at a carnival not in law enforcement.

Kinda like John Kerry did?

Came from the fool farm as drunkard and body builder frauds.

He looks like a guy that would accidentally shoot himself though.......

Remember when...

Cognitive test? « Black Woman man gun tv »... say it again... repeat after me...

So he is the Jussie Smollett of police officers

What.... come on CNN!! Cops don't do shady stuff like this. Get real!

Trying to be a cowboy.

Liar, liar,liar, liar....

Stupid is as stupid does... idiot...

Oh the places you’ll go ... to own the libz.

Boy looks Soft. Js

Why doesn't this article say source says and actually has the sources name? Could it be when you don't name the source it's all bullshit?

Are you going to report on hunter Biden?
