Court records also suggest Nicol filed for bankruptcy in 2000, but those records aren’t available online.
I know this bankruptcy was 24 yrs ago, but maybe he was having financial troubles and took a bribe to spread the info about Crooks to set him up, then look the other way while Crooks did the shooting.
I saw the video from the bodycam, she was very nervous on the roof, maybe scared of heights(?) or was she nervous because of involvement somehow(?), don’t know but didn’t watch everything she did, though I don’t remember her doing much but putting her gloves on, reach down and touch Crooks, then stand there for a bit, then walked down the roof near edge.
“Police Sergeant Gregory Nicol was in his office at the Monaca Police Station on December 15 when he unholstered his duty weapon to show it to another officer. His firearm accidentally discharged in the process, in what is being described as a ‘freak accident,’” the BeaverCountian reported in January, citing two unnamed law enforcement sources.
Headline USA also found that Nicol was sued in December 2005 for causing the wrong suspect to be arrested in a robbery investigation. In that case, Nicol admitted to confusing the identity of a woman, saying he made an honest mistake.
He seems to have one thing after another happen, I’m surprised he is still employed in LE.
Every security position I've ever been involved with requires a financial background check - to spot whether you are susceptible to bribery/blackmail/selling secrets etc.
And this guy is supposed to be a sniper when he accidentally discharged his weapon taking it out of his holster in the past? WTF? I know accidents happen, but this guy is supposed to be a sniper and supposed to know how to handle his firearms.
Also, the fact that he confuses people's identities, causing the wrong person to be arrested.
Not exactly the type of person you would want on a detail like this.

Exactly why it caught my attention.
