Cop pleads no contest, accidental gun firing
FOWLERVILLE, Mich. ? A Michigan police officer has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor after his personal gun accidentally fired into the floor of a high school gymnasium as he watched a wrestling tournament.
Flint Police Lt. Mark Boudreau entered the plea Friday to the charge of reckless discharge of a weapon.
The Flint Journal reports the incident occurred when Boudreau's son was competing in a tournament on May 5 at Fowlerville High School, about 65 miles (105 kilometers) northwest of Detroit. Boudreau was off-duty at the time.
Pleading no contest isn't an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing. Boudreau's attorney says the charge will be held under advisement by the Livingston County District Court until May, and that it'll be dismissed as long as Boudreau complies with all court orders.

Hey we had one here at my old high school in Seaside. A volunteer cop or some manner of sorts was checking to see if the gun he brought in to his classroom was loaded last year? I'll have to find it again on youtube. 0 -

Pistols don't fire on their own while they are holstered. This is a NEGLIGENT discharge by the perp as he took it out of the holster and pulled the trigger. Not a machinery failure. He pulled the trigger via negligence. 0 -

" . . . misdemeanor after his personal gun accidentally fired . . . "
I understand the police officer pleaded "no contest".
How did the personal gun plead?
Is the personal gun going to be prosecuted?
Will the personal gun be expected to serve time in jail?
Will there be a fine for the personal gun?
Is it possible the personal gun is not to blame?0 -
was it a glock???? 0 -
