By Zaya Williams
Sergeant Karim Warner has entered a plea of not guilty to charges against him in relation to an incident where is said to have shot up a car with two civilians inside.

He allegedly used GPS tracking to locate the vehicle in Willikies, where he confronted the occupants—a man who rented the car and a female companion—who refused to return it.
Tensions reportedly escalated, leading Warner to discharge his weapon and fire 12 shots at the departing vehicle, striking it multiple times.
