Strickland joined the police department in 2005 after serving the US Coast Guard.

Incident background

The shot in question is that a WMBF message has been dealt with in detail for almost a year and a half.

In 911, Boyd claimed that Spivey had a gun on him and a passenger. Another person claimed that Spivey aggressively drove to Boyds Truck and almost ran him off the street. More people called in 911 and described the shootout, with Boyd Dispatchers told that Spivey first shot him on him.

Ultimately, Boyd was not charged with the shootout, whereby the prosecutors cited a lack of sufficient evidence of examining the case from the lawyer of the 15th circuit. In June 2024, however, Spivey's family submitted an illegal complaint against Boyd.
