Trial pushed back for cop who allegedly fired 12 shots at civilians
An embattled police officer will have to wait a bit longer to see an end to the legal matter he is embroiled in.
Sergeant Karim Warner’s trial where he is accused of firing 12 rounds in a public place has been postponed to a tentative date of June 17.
According to reports, Warner faced difficulties in repossessing a vehicle he had leased to an individual.
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.
Despite initial attempts to keep the incident quiet, Warner was eventually arrested, charged, and later released on station bail.
