Austin Police Officer Involved In Fatal Shooting Scandal and Fired For DUI, Reinstated By Arbitrator, Now Fired Again

Austin, Texas

In an earlier post, was a report of an Austin Police Officer who, after being involved in a fatal shooting scandal and drunk driving, was fired - but re-instated by arbitration. Well, he has been fired again. The official story:

                                            
Officer Leonardo Quintana was fired Wednesday after an internal investigation into an alleged October 2009 domestic disturbance call at his ex-fiancee's suburban Austin home.

A grand jury had declined to indict Quintana in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Nathaniel Sanders II during a struggle. Police Chief Art Acevedo fired him in May after Quintana's arrest in an unrelated drunken driving case.
