Timothy Lee Faye, a veteran police officer in San Jose, was arrested for alleged drunkenly firing his weapon inside his ex-girlfriend's home. During the police interrogation, he mocked the officer, indicating a dismissive attitude towards the serious allegations against him. Colleagues revealed that Faye's alcohol issues were known and brought to the attention of supervisors repeatedly, but no significant action was taken. The police department acknowledged the gravity of the allegations but could not provide specific responses due to ongoing investigations, emphasizing their commitment to public trust and accountability.
F***ing leave it alone and just walk the f*** away, Faye said, according to a police report accompanying two felony reckless shooting charges filed against him last week.
In the wake of Faye's June 18 arrest... colleagues in the police department told this news organization that Faye's alcohol abuse was well known and flagged to supervisors multiple times over a span of several years.
