CMPD Quiet as NC SBI Investigates Last Friday's OIS

Based on water cooler scuttlebutt there seems to be plausible debate as to how a Gastonia Police Department Officer was wounded last Friday morning.

According to several news outlets: 

FBI Safe Streets Task Force members approached a house at 4515 Oakburn Drive about 6 a.m. when shots were fired at them. Larry McConneyhead, 47, is being held in Mecklenburg County Jail on federal charges related to the investigation that led the FBI to execute the warrant.

The Gastonia Police officer did not sustain life-threating injuries. 

Two CMPD officers were a part of the operation, according to the FBI. One officer, Heather Loveridge, was directly involved in the shooting, according to CMPD. Loveridge, a patrol officer with the North Division, has been placed on administrative leave, a standard procedure anytime an officer discharges a weapon. The 

North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and FBI are conducting a joint investigation into the shooting. CMPD's Internal Affairs Bureau will also contuct a separate but parallel investigation to determine whether CMPD policies were followed during the incident.

CMPD remains silent about the shooting but it’s pretty clear this was an unfortunate mishap. 


CMPD has confirmed CMPD Officer Heather Loveridge, is on paid leave. 


Apparently no suspects were shot, only the GPD Officer, during the sleepy time no knock warrant service.


Rumor is a CMPD Officer was in “the stack” when a weapon was discharged striking the GPD Officer who was thankfully wearing his tactical vest. 

Conclusion - Loveridge may have accidentally shot the GPD Officer. His injury is not life threatening but maybe a career ending injury. 


Cedar Update:

At Noon additional information was released that indicated McConneyhead was the target of the search warrant that was granted on information and belief that McConneyhead was involved in trafficking considerable amounts of cocaine. 

Mr. McConneyhead has numerous priors for similar offenses in the past. Seems Loveridge was recruited on scene to be part of the stack to breach the garage which may had led to some sort of confusion once shots were fired. However the GPD Officer would have been clearly identifiable. 

Another theory her weapon discharged accidentally.

Hey Cedar did you see Fox 46 post about this? 'BREAKING" LoL Even pulled the MSCO mug shot like you did. We have only been talking about this since Friday afternoon. News media in Charlotte is pretty damn lame if you ask me. Just sayin.

Ain't nobody saying this but depending on how far in front he was I'm guessing if she had been just an 1/8 of an inch to the left she would have taken his head off.

Will she be charged? Will she be fired? Will she be relocated?

Kinda like going Wing Shooting with Dick Cheney you'd be ok as long as he's not behind you. On the other hand you'd prefer he just say home.

10:55, It all depends on how good looking she is or what her race and gender identity is.

12:09 I disagree, as far as I'm concerned no woman is worth getting shot over.

IDK Maybe the shooting was justified?

One thing is for sure, the Feds are taking notice of CMPD's inability to function, control crime and to even make arrests and Mecklenburg DA's inability to prosecute crimes. McConneyhead (what a stupid name) is a bad dude but now that the Feds are involved you won't see him around for 10 or 20 years unless he rolls over PDQ.

1209.... your comment couldn't be more right. If this female is black, lesbian or transgender it'll be a re-assignment to B2 or the airport with the rest of the flunkies. If it was a white heterosexual male.... he would be gone!

Don’t hate on the airport. Those are the smartest officers in the department and will make it to each of their retirements and still live to tell about it. Low stress, working indoors, no 50’s in the rain, no traffic direction. Just show up and get paid the same as you do.

What is the description of the female officer?

If Vicki Foster shot me in the back, I would strangle her until her eyeballs popped out like Officer Preston.

I thought it was that fat sloppy blonde that was up in North a few years ago. The one that fucked Sean Parker while he had another fattie pregnant over in D2.

5:33.... gonna have to disagree with you. The airport is where people who can't hack a real division go. We had Isner in our division years ago.. He almost got canned for cowardice but instead he washed out to the airport... He did well out there, kissed the right amount of ass and made K9. Now he's retired. Was flying out the other day and saw King and Moorefield are still out there, no surprise there... not sure which one is the bottom in that relationship. I say we should let Wackenhut or G4S police out at the airport, we need staffing in the divisions that are actually busy.

Oh so only one person - wow. Again, we make the same as you and a fraction of the work. Jealousy is a stinky cologne.

No surprise that Foster was the only command staff not at presser. She’s never around. How is she a AC?

Airport...they have that bubblehead Starnes out there, too. That bitch tried to add me on Facebook and I didn't even know her. She is just looking for the dick. Standing at the airport collecting a check. Don't forget about Moorefield, either. POS

U are clearly not CMPD - Starnes hasn’t worked here in months. I think u are that one that had to “go away” and had the grudge and works elsewhere in the City. We all know who you are. You were never a cop. Just was ran off from one city department to another and only survives by making false complaints. U will get yours soon enough.

Are we up to 98 homicides?

They are just getting started! We will hit 100 by the end of this weekend. Meanwhile, radio silence from the potted plants that occupy the City Gubamint Building. You git what ya vote fer! At least the mayor took time to stop and chat with Greta about the impact of cow flatulence on our ozone. That should be comforting to everyone that voted for her....

Fuk the homicide rate. I know its BK making these statements on here. Youll get urs soon, BK.

What should have been #95 was reported as #92 by the news companies. They’ll have to fudge a few more to avoid triple digits by year’s end.

Dohdoh birds it's actually 115 homicides per FBI PARAMETERS
