A Georgia Press Association attorney says the Statesboro Police Department violated its own procedure on incident reporting when officers failed to include key details in a report about an officer-involved shooting in October.After several records requests since the shooting from the Statesboro Herald, the police department and the city of Statesboro refuse to release the name of an officer who fired shots that resulted in the death of a 61-year-old man at his Rackley Street home in October.The incident report provided to the Herald on March 3 lists “aggravated assault (gun)” and “civil dispute” as the incident type, and lists “other” under weapons used, but makes no mention of shots fired, or of a man being killed. The report does not list the name of any officer in connection with the shooting; only the names of officers filing the report.The report provided to the Herald on Nov. 1, just four days after the shooting, did not even list “aggravated assault” and made no reference to firearms.After reviewing the incident report as well as the Statesboro Police Department’s own standard operating procedure, Georgia Press Association attorney David Hudson said it appears the department violated its own policy.“The Statesboro Police Department has an SOP and did not follow it in the incident that you are investigating,” he told the Statesboro Herald.A request sent Wednesday for comment on the disparity between the Rackley Street shooting and other shooting-related reports, sent to Statesboro Public Safety Director Wendell Turner, who supervises the police department, and Statesboro city attorney J. Alvin Leaphart IV, went unanswered Friday.A Statesboro City Hall employee told the Statesboro Herald that Leaphart was unavailable Friday, and Turner did not return messages left by phone Friday.Standard operating procedureThe Statesboro Police Department’s standard operating procedure regarding incident reports states the reports are “Used in describing the incident which has occurred and those actions taken by the officer, reporting names and other related information on persons involved in incidents, recording serialized and non-serialized articles, events, suspects and witnesses, statements and investigative leads.”The Rackley Street shooting incident report did not describe or even mention the shooting. Witnesses told the Statesboro Herald that George Pryor, 61, was arguing with police and a code enforcement officer about a van that was in violation of city code.
