Greg Siem - Brickbats - accidental police shooting - Brief Article

Reason, Dec, 2002 by Charles Oliver

Greg Siem was having trouble subduing a man whom he wanted to arrest for being drunk and disorderly. So the Rochester, Minnesota, policeman pulled out what he thought was his stun gun. In fact, he pulled out his sidearm and fired a bullet into the man's back. The police department said it was an honest mistake and returned Siem to duty. His victim will recover.
