Wisconsin cop who shot Jacob Blake had weapon stolen from girlfriend’s car: reports Muri Assunção
The Kenosha, Wis. cop who shot Jacob Blake last summer had his weapon stolen from his girlfriend’s car, according to internal police investigative records.
Rusten Sheskey was suspended for three days earlier this year, after Kenosha police officials waited seven months to investigate the case, the local ABC-affiliated television station WISN-TV reported.
Sheskey, who’s white, shot Blake seven times on Aug. 23, 2020, leaving him partially paralyzed. He was later cleared of any criminal wrongdoing and returned to work March 31.
Last year Sheskey was issued a replacement Glock 17 pistol, after the weapon he used to shoot Blake was seized by investigators.
