Police Cadet Arrested for Burglary
(WSB Radio) A Gwinnett County Police cadet has resigned after being charged with burglary.
Sean Filyaw, 24, attempted to steal his neighbors PlayStation while wearing his cadet uniform but a former neighbor witnessed this act. When police arrived on the scene they found Filyaw on the roof of his car, still wearing his cadet uniform.
Gwinnett County Police Corporal David Schiralli told WSB the city of Auburn arrested Filyaw after they arrived on the scene.
"From what I am told he had only been in the academy only five to six weeks," Schiralli said.
Gwinnett County police gave Filyaw the option of resigning instead of being fired after they learned of the charges.
"We will not tolerate anything that will reflect badly on the department," Filyaw said.
Filyaw is currently free on bond.
What others are saying
- Tasing incidentWow, hear we go again with the tasing incident... I love how people will look at the police after one or two bad eggs (even though one wasn't a cop). What people weren't told is the "victim" Danny used to ask the officer's to tase him. Even that aside, it was a stupid decision on the cop's part. I know that Danny kid, you should hear what he's been telling his friends. Things aren't always what they seem...
- gwinnet cadetI do not see the problem with all the troubles on late he would have made a fine addition to the force. Then he would be able to tase an innocent employee of waffle house.
