SAPD officer Miguel Leal did not have a permit to carry the gun he used to shoot at the suspect, according to suspension paperwork.
Officer Miguel Leal, was suspended indefinitely without pay on March 21 for violating SAPD policies, including improper use of a firearm and putting a civilian vehicle passenger in unnecessary danger, disciplinary records show. An indefinite suspension from SAPD is tantamount to a firing. After Leal heard on police radio that someone had spotted his stolen car and that SAPD units were pursuit, he drove to the scene of the chase with an unidentified civilian passenger in his vehicle, the document states. At the time, he was off duty, not in uniform and not driving a marked police vehicle, the paperwork also notes.
“Leal did not use sound judgment when he unnecessarily got involved in this incident while off duty, particularly when the incident was being handled by on-duty uniformed officers in marked police vehicles,” the suspension paperwork states.
