How Did This Road-Raging Cop Pass a Psych Evaluation?

[SecularMotion]

Even before Harris County Constable Kenneth Caplan shot and injured Lori Annab in what authorities say was a near-fatal bout of road rage in 2014, he was an unlikely prospect as a peace officer.

The 34-year-old Precinct 6 reserve deputy was already on leave for a previous road rage incident, according to a Houston Police Department investigator's affidavit produced in a civil suit against Harris County and Caplan, and his troubling behavior had already been noticed by superiors at his police academy, which is why he was kicked out in 2010.

The affidavit, along with other records produced in the lawsuit, shines a light on Caplan's rocky history as a cadet and officer, as well as the troubling practices of Carole Busick, a psychologist accused of rubber-stamping countless mental health evaluations for Houston-area law enforcement personnel, including Caplan.

Annab's attorney, Steven Couch, told the Houston Press that he plans on adding Busick to the lawsuit, filed last October, which accuses county officials of negligence in hiring Caplan, and accuses Caplan of abuse of power. Caplan, who was fired from his Precinct 6 post after the shooting, has also been charged with felony aggravated assault.

5. Just aimin my Glock at my wife's head and it accidently went off, missed her and hit Annab,

who was busy trying to run him off the road

Too many obviously inconsistent details to his story

Smart guilty people usually know how to keep there mouths under control. This dude writes all this gibberish down in response to the affidavit

He's going to lose the suit. He's also going to kill someone in the very near future
