South Carolina Trooper Who Shot Unarmed Man Reaching for Wallet Caught Shoplifting at Walmart

The South Carolina trooper facing criminal charges for shooting a man reaching for his drivers license – after asking the man for his drivers license – is now facing criminal charges for shoplifting at Walmart.

But Sean Groubert has still managed to avoid spending much time in jail.

“Please keep me out of jail,” Groubert asked the judge on Monday, who was considering a motion to revoke the bond from his previous charge.

The judge ended up modifying the bond, ordering Groubert to remain under house arrest with exceptions for work, court, doctor or church, according to Live 5 News.

So not only is Groubert facing assault and battery charges from the September 4, 2014 incident where he confronted a 35-year-old man named Levar Jones in a gas station for a baseless seatbelt violation, only to shoot him in the hip when Jones tried to comply with his orders, he is also awaiting trial for the shoplifting charge.

When BLM demonizes cops, some cops fight back.

And Groubert is now driving a truck to support him and his wife, Morgan Groubert, who is expecting their first child. She is also facing shoplifting charges.


Family business.

What relevance does that statement have here?

This is one where the only question is how many zeros have to appear on the check to keep this from going to civil court after the criminal charges are tried. Of course if one is in New Orleans the Parish and City make no deals and then refuse to pay settlements saying the ‘lack available funds’.

I’m good with no jail time - just 50 strokes with a cane each instead.

Cheaper and more effective.

I recall this case. Scary video. And recall the victim while going into shock, asking the cop why he shot him.

GOOD GRIEF!

If I had not just watched the video and the aftermath conversation I probably would not have believed this...

Barney Fife was a much better cop.

Thankfully, the goober missed 3 times at point blank range and did not kill the guy with the 4th.

A $285,000 settlement for this is chump change. He should have been able to get millions.

How about 50 strokes with a cane while sitting in wooden chair with the bottom cut out and no pants.

This cyrillic stuff is hard to take.

It has been this way for...2 weeks? A little more.

I know and its driving me crazy. I can’t keep reading this junk. I OFTEN use the speech option on my computers and the garbage makes it impossible to even listen to the articles.

Perhaps someone from management will someday chime in and let us know what is going on and when it might be rectified.
