A Tampa police officer has lost his job over an incident from December 2012.
Then-officer Gregory Pryor was off-duty when he was involved in a traffic crash.
According to partner newspaper the Tampa Bay Times, investigators at the scene said they believe Pryor was lying about what happened in the crash. Officials said Pryor maintained he was not driving though he was the only one with his crashed truck at the scene.
He was charged with giving false information to law enforcement. He was never booked into jail and the charges were later dismissed after he completed a misdemeanor intervention program.
Later, during an internal investigation, officials said Pryor changed his story. He was fired on Thursday over what police officials called lying about the crash.
Also, during his time as an officer, Pryor was involved in two deadly shootings, including the July 2012 fatal shooting of 16-year-old Javon Neal.
The teen was shot and killed by officers at the Central Court apartment complex near downtown after they said he pulled a gun on them.
In 2011, Pryor shot and killed Carlos Laboy, 26.
Officials said Pryor believed Laboy was reaching for a gun while officers were trying to arrest him. Laboy was later found to be unarmed.
Pryor was cleared of any wrongdoing in both shootings.
