The police officer who shot into a semi truck on an interstate in Florida last month has been reassigned to the telephone team. 

Lieutenant Marc Crawford was placed on administrative leave after the March 10th incident on Interstate 95 in Jacksonville, Florida. Crawford returned to work on Wednesday, April 9th, and has been reassigned to the telephone team, which takes reports for minor incidents over the phone so other officers can focus on more serious incidents. 

According to News4Jax, the circumstances surrounding the shooting are still unclear, and the officer has not made a statement regarding the incident. The 70-year-old truck driver, James Debardeleben, was not hurt, but multiple rounds were fired at his semi truck, and several bullets ended up in his engine compartment. Police have only stated that Crawford “came into contact” with the truck driver, but have not released further details. 

The State Attorney’s office is currently conducting an investigation. Once that is completed, a JSO administrative investigation will commence. The incident was the fourth officer-involved shooting that Crawford has been a part of in his 21 year career.
