Beating up juveniles, calling in sick while on vacation, falsifying reports, stealing from suspects, and having dope and alcohol in his car, are some of the reasons why Sargent German Bosque has been fired from eight different police departments in Florida.
This time around, Bosque left behind his AR-15 rifle with the father of his girlfriend, meaning that he might get fired another time.
The Opa-locka Police Department said that leaving behind his weapon is a serious problem and presented their case to fire Sgt. German Bosque in front of an arbitration officer.
"We're here on a very simple matter," city attorney Joe Geller told CBS Miami. "It's going to be up to the arbitrator. We think what the officer did was wrong."
According to Bosque's attorney, Andrew Axelrad, the AR-15 was in good hands because the father of his girlfriend was a security guard. "Anyone can legally purchase this weapon," he said.
"This is not your buttons aren't shining. This is not your shoes weren't polished. This is not you did not snap the salute crisply ... This is an assault weapon capable of firing multiple high-velocity rounds,'' Geller said, according to The Miami Herald. He added "Not just anyone can purchase one from the Opa-locka police department."
"It's allegations. Allegations are not convictions," said Axelrad. "We have a system in place, and that system is a fair system."
Meanwhile, Sgt. Bosque says he just loves his job. "I love serving the community. I love what I do for a living, and I'm very proud," he said.
