In South Carolina, the dash cam video was released Wednesday 9-24-2014, showing Officer Groubert pulling over a man in a gas station for a seatbelt violation.
The man, Levar Jones, had stepped out of the truck and Groubert demanded his license. But when Jones reached back into his truck to retrieve the license, Groubert went into panic mode and fired several times, striking Jones once in the hip.
In the video, Jones can be seen getting out of his car when Groubert pulled up and asked for his license. Jones reached in his car for his license and Groubert immediately shot at Jones several times.
Jones was hit by one bullet in the hip. He is recovering at home after being hospitalized for the injury.
While shooting at Jones, Groubert yelled “Get out of the car, get out of the car.”
Jones replied,”I just got my license, you said get my license.”
Groubert responded by telling Jones to get on the ground.
While on the ground Jones said, “I have my license right here, you said get my license.”
In the video Groubert can be heard asking Jones if he was hit by a bullet and went on to say, “Bro, you dove head first back into your car.”
