FDLE: Escambia Woman Lied About Officer Involved Shooting Of Her Son
February 2, 2019
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has charged Sheekina Monique Williams, 36, of Pensacola with providing false information to law enforcement and perjury during an officer use of force investigation.
“In public integrity investigations such as this, FDLE’s role is to determine the facts so prosecutors can make appropriate charging decisions,” said FDLE Pensacola Special Agent in Charge Jack Massey. “For this to happen, it is imperative for people to provide truthful information.”
In an interview with FDLE agents, Williams claimed to witness a November officer involved shooting where the suspect was shot in the arm. FDLE was investigating the case at the request of Escambia County Sheriff’s Office after the suspect was shot while trying to run over deputies with his vehicle. Those deputies were recently cleared by the state attorney’s office of criminal wrongdoing.
Williams told officers she was standing on a front porch and saw the shooting. However video obtained from the scene shows Williams was not where she claimed to be. Agents believe Williams did not witness the incident. She is the mother of the suspect.
Williams was arrested Friday and booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $1,500.
The State Attorney’s Office announced January 23 that the shooting was justified.

A mother’s love.
We see it throughout nature’s spectrum.
REGARDING:
“do you have nothing better to do?”
Better than talking to you? What could be better?
David for good company
David Huie Green, Your post correcting everyone else are becoming tiresome, do you have nothing better to do?
REGARDING:
“I find it strange that it is against the law to lie to congress or law enforcement but that it is ok for them to lie tom us.”
Only when lying under oath is it actually illegal. It’s wrong but not illegal.
It is up to voters to decide what is true and what is false in political claims. You don’t want government throwing candidates in jail for making what they claim are false statements. (Mexico might not pay for a giant wall, for example. That should have been obvious.) We respond to lying politicians by not voting for them — in theory, at least. It seems like some say, “Tell me a pleasant enough lie and I belong to you.”
David for higher standards.

“…juries will start to doubt any testimony that is not backed up…”
People SHOULD doubt the testimony of witnesses without corroboration. Most don’t know or care what the Bible says, but it requires the existence of at least two or three witnesses in agreement with each other for conviction.
People lie. That’s why there needed to be a separate commandment against it and it is broken at least as much as the others.
David for truth
Because of the frequency of incidents like this, juries will start to doubt any testimony that is not backed up by video recording, What a sad state our country is in.
Just like the “witnesses” in the Ferguson, Missouri case.
