Kevin Johnson about the 2001 incident

OK everyone knows Coatesville Fire Chief Kevin Johnson fired a pistol at a police officer in 2001. There is one very important thing about this event, it's the only criminal charge  Kevin Johnson has and it occurred because he was distraught over a domestic dispute.

 FIREFIGHTER BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS.... A "warning flag" From Coatesville, PA for ALL FD's
"Saturday, March 28, 2009 On Jan. 17, 2001, police responded to a domestic dispute involving a man in camouflage gear waving a semiautomatic pistol. As two officers approached the Caln Township residence, a shot was fired "in such a manner as to place individuals in danger," court records said.
Less than four years later, the person who shot the gun, Kevin Johnson, was hired as an assistant fire chief in Coatesville.
His hiring is an example of Coatesville's weakness in screening firefighting personnel, said Richard G. Poulson, the attorney for the city's 13 paid part-time firefighters and four full-time firefighters."
