Perjury complaint filed against Officer Bailey

A complaint was filed last week with the Abilene Police Dept. against Officer Courtney Bailey for allegedly committing perjury. Victor Fiorentini was accompanied by me for moral support when he filed the complaint.

A few days earlier, Fiorentini also filed a request with City Manager Larry Gilley, that his arrest be fully investigated in light of the new evidence that Officer Bailey wasn't the only officer to perjure herself at his trial.

A similar request filed before the trial was denied by then Assistant Chief of Police, Stan Standridge.

I encourage Chief Standridge to reconsider his position in the spirit of fairness, especially considering that Fiorentini had his skull, orbital (eye bone) and two molars fractured due to his beating at the hands of three APD officers who were there for the purpose of a standby and not a criminal complaint.
