He celebrated the victory in a lengthy caption and praised his son for acting “with honor, courage, and integrity while doing his job to protect and serve” from the start, while also denouncing the car chase suspect.
Priceville Police Department Police Chief Jerry Holmes confirms to TMZ the decision was made Monday night, with the city council voting to repeal his firing. They instead gave him a 10-day suspension without pay.
As we reported … Garry was behind the wheel of a Sept. 6 chase that left 6 people hospitalized and 17-year-old Tristan Hollis dead.
He was swiftly placed on leave by the Priceville Police Department and then fired several weeks later.
However, Garry’s lawyer, Scott Morro, told us they would be appealing the decision before the town’s city council, which was a success.
