Cop Admits He Shot His Own Police Car, Wasn't "Shot At" While On Patrol

A Gloucester County man employed by the Winslow Township Police Department as a part-time Class II Special Law Enforcement Officer admitted Wednesday to shooting his vehicle while on patrol in October, the Camden County Prosecutor announced.

Da'Shaun Carr, 23, of Clayton, pleaded guilty Feb. 25 in Superior Court to charges of false reports to law enforcement authorities in connection with the incident on Oct. 3.

Authorities say Carr had been accused of shooting his patrol car around 8 p.m. that night after communicating over emergency radio that his vehicle had been fired upon in the area of New Brooklyn Park in Winslow.

Officers from the WTPD, New Jersey State Police, Camden County Sheriff's Office and the CCPO responded to the incident.

The CCPO's Crime Scene Investigation Unit processed the scene and determined the vehicle had been shot once through the windshield and bullet fragments were recovered from the interior, according to prosecutors.
