Texas pool party cop had dealt with two suicide calls before 911 call

Officer Eric Casebolt quit the McKinney, TX, police after video of him apparently over-reacting at a pool party prompted a storm of protest. His lawyer said he had been emotional at the time.

The police officer who quit his job after drawing his gun on a group of teenagers and slamming a bikini-clad 15-year-old to the ground let ’emotions’ get the better of him, his lawyer said today.

Officer Eric Casebolt quit the McKinney City police last night amid protests over his actions, described as ‘indefensible’ by his boss, which was captured on video.

But today his lawyer revealed that he was dispatched to the pool party after consoling the widow of an African-American man who had committed suicide by shooting himself in front of children at a swimming pool, and helping to talk a teenage girl out of taking her life.

She said he had not intended to respond to the call when it came through initially as it was simply about ‘trespass’, ‘given what he had just been through’.

But when he heard a report of violence, he decided to go – despite the toll of dealing with two emotionally-draining calls in the course of just over an hour.
