ABC11 is reporting that police sergeant Shawn Smith was fired following his investigation into a wreck that involved four UNC football players.

Smith charged former UNC player Herman Davidson only with not having a valid driver’s license despite alcohol and speed of the car being involved. Davidson was not issued a speeding ticket and no one was taken into custody.

ABC11, WTVD, reports that “The initial report said the car was traveling the speed limit at the time of the crash; but nearly 16 hours later, the report was later changed to say the car was going 45 mph in a 25 mph zone.”

Smith is reported as saying, “I let my love for UNC interfere with real life and I paid the price.”

UNC players Carl Gaskins Jr., Dion Guy and Ebele Okakpu were passengers in the vehicle, owned by Okakpu’s father. The car sustained $18,000 in damage.
