KENNESAW PD arrests Hero who saved his friends lives!
The one they arrested was charged with having a gun in the commission of a Felony. This was the gun he took away from the drunk!
KENNESAW POLICE ARE INCOMPETENT.
NBC’s 11Alive has a multi part story on the KPD who arrived at the parking lot of a Kennesaw bar and arrested the wrong person for 4 charges, one a Felony.
This was a ‘Hero’ who disarmed and subdued a drunk gun waving Felon. Here is what happened when the charge reached the County Prosecutor: District Attorney Vic Reynolds released the charges against Mr. Solon, stating: “Insufficient evident to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The above-named individual acted in self-defense and in the defense of others by disarming and subduing an individual who approached him and then proceeded to brandish a firearm.”

This Gunman (Dwight Cooper) was already awaiting trial on felony gun, drug charges. On April 22, 2017, Cobb County Police found Cooper passed out with his foot on the brake and his car in drive, at an intersection. Officers located a loaded 9mm handgun in his car’s center console, along with scales and a jar full of marijuana. He was arrested and charged with having an open container, DUI, felony possession of drugs with intent to deliver, and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony.
Cooper’s bail restrictions did not prohibit him from possessing firearms while he was on bail for felony gun charges. The June disarming incident in Mazzy’s parking lot happened between the time the gunman was arrested in April and indicted on Aug. 17, 2017. While in court for those charges in January 2018, Cooper pleaded guilty to a felony.

I’ve said for years that KPD should be merged into the Cobb Police. Kennesaw has no need for a boutique police department.
They didn’t need a City jail and they DO NOT need a separate police department or a Chief of Police so dumb that he sticks up for his officers when the make a major mistake and arrest the wrong person.
