San Bernardino (CA) police
officer Fidel Ocampo-Rodarte was off-duty, hanging with a friend at the
Blue Jay Tavern about 20 miles outside of the teeming metropolis of San
Berdoo and consuming more than a couple of adult beverages Sunday
evening. For some reason he thought it would be a good idea to go out
into the parking lot at closing time and shoot his service pistol into
the air a few times before leaving. It probably actually wasn't a good
idea.
The surveillance system caught some pretty good images of the situation. His brass was scattered all over the parking lot.
He
turned himself in several hours later, presumably after he sobered up.
He is now off duty on admin. leave. He has three years with the
department. If he is really lucky he just may continue to have a job if
he gets into a program and can cope with a major chunk of time on the
beach. I can't help but think he has some alcohol issues that he should
deal with. .
