Overview
- A serious-injury crash in Lawrenceville on June 5 involved Officer Myles Green while he was responding to an emergency call, according to police reports.
- Gwinnett County’s internal review concluded Green drove through a red-light-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop to verify the right-of-way, which violated department policy and training.
- The department terminated Green’s employment on June 22 after the policy finding, citing its obligation to hold officers to professional and safety standards.
- The Georgia State Patrol took over the external investigation, has obtained arrest warrants for Green, and is conducting an independent crash reconstruction; officials have not released the specific charges or details about the injured parties.
- Gwinnett policy requires officers to stop and confirm the intersection is clear before proceeding on a red signal even during emergency responses, and the case may prompt scrutiny of training, response practices, and departmental accountability.
