The county sheriff stated that he had never applied for a CCW permit, but he did have a permit from another county. He had arrests and convictions, but none were felonies so he was not prohibited from getting a CCW permit. What I have not seen are details on the crimes and if any were originally felonies plead down to misdemeanors..
Thanks. If in fact that is true, I imagine lots of folks have unintentionally done that without sinister motives. So I would say it was also possible that occurred here in this event. I say this without assigning guilt to any party.
They were all traffic violations: http://www.kare11.com/news/investigations/kare-11-investigates-racial-profiling-in-minnesota/266814958
Those records show Castile had 79 different charges – all of them vehicle and traffic stop related. More than half of them – 48 – eventually were dismissed.
Castile was found guilty 31 times of misdemeanors or petty misdemeanors. The charges included driving on a suspended license, no proof of insurance, and seatbelt and parking violations.
None of Castile’s charges or convictions involve guns, violence, threats against or fleeing police.
