One of the four Atlanta police recruits let go after a dispute outside an East Point sports bar last month is facing charges after allegedly firing a gun multiple times into the air during the incident.
Wendy Celestin was charged with three misdemeanors after officers said he fired five shots into the air during a dispute with security outside U Bar, which bills itself as an upscale sports bar in East Point. The shooter fled the scene and eluded a pursuing officer on the highway, according to a police report.
Celestin was identified as the alleged shooter in the June 14 incident in court documents, and booked into the Fulton County Jail on July 4 and released two days later on a $3,000 bond.
