CA Deputy Arrested For Faking His Own Shooting During A Drive-By

[Sugar Cookie]

A California deputy was arrested for faking his own shooting and claiming he’d been injured by a stranger’s gun, prosecutors said.

Sukhdeep Gill, a deputy with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, reported he was struck and injured during a drive-by shooting last January, Santa Clara prosecutors said in a statement.

Gill, who has been with the department since 2016, claimed his body camera saved him from the bullet.
The deputy called for help and told an arriving officer that as he was walking back to his patrol car after urinating on the side of the road, a silver sedan approached him, prosecutors said.

Gill, 27, recalled that shots came from the vehicle’s passenger side, and said he returned fire before the car drove away.

However, a police investigation found that there were serious discrepancies in the deputy’s account.

Gill has been charged with felony vandalism and falsely reporting a crime, a misdemeanor.

Police initially suspected that it may have been a hate crime, as Gill is a practicing Sikh and wears a traditional turban.

I presume he was attempting to fake a hate crime. Fuck him!

I wonder if he was in trouble for something else and staged this as a diversion.

DEI hires never work

A former Santa Clara County Sheriff’s deputy today was banned from any future work as a peace officer in California and ordered to do community service after pleading no contest to reduced charges of fabricating a story of a drive-by shooting four years ago.

Prosecutors said that Sukhdeep Gill, 30, had told investigators that he miraculously escaped injury when a single bullet fired from a passing car struck his body camera while he was standing near his patrol car on a rural road west of Morgan Hill.

After an investigation found evidence, including ballistics, that exposed serious discrepancies in the deputy’s account, he was charged with felony vandalism and suspended from duty.

Despite the objections of the District Attorney’s Office, the court allowed Gill, when confronted with the investigators’ evidence, to enter no contest pleas to the lesser misdemeanor charges of vandalism and filing a false report of an emergency.

Prosecutors said that at 10:32pm on Jan. 31, 2020, Gill hit the emergency broadcast button on his police radio, broadcasting, “Shots fired! Shots fired!” and giving his location on a rural section of Uvas Road in south Santa Clara County.

Officers responded from the Sheriff’s Office as well as the San Jose, Morgan Hill, and Gilroy police departments.

Prosecutors said Gill told the first officer on scene that he had parked on the dirt shoulder to urinate during a routine patrol. While walking back towards the driver side of his patrol car he was shot at by the passenger in a silver sedan that had turned off its lights as it approached him. The deputy said he then fired two shots towards the alleged suspect vehicle, which sped away on Uvas Road.

Gill pleaded no contest to that reduced charge and the crime of false report of an emergency, in exchange for the court’s offer of 150 hours of community service, payment of restitution and the surrender of his certification to the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. This permanently prevents Gill from acting as a peace officer in California, prosecutors said.
