A Gainesville Police Department officer who resigned May 9 remains part of an ongoing GPD internal investigation.
John Robert Bostick, 34, voluntarily separated himself from GPD while "being investigated for violation of section 943.13(4), F.S., or violation of moral character standards," according to police documents.
Because the investigation is ongoing, few details have been made available.
Bostick has 17 incident investigations on his GPD record, seven of which were allegations that were unfounded or not sustained.
Those violations include unauthorized vehicle pursuit, violation of overtime pay and unbecoming conduct.
Two incidents involved suspension time.
In July 2005, Bostick damaged his assigned patrol car and didn't document the $500 worth of damage until Aug. 10, 2005, the investigative report said.
Bostick's crash report stated that an unknown car struck his parked patrol car before fleeing the scene.
However, Bostick later admitted that while driving the patrol car, he struck a yellow cement pole, according to his September 2005 apology letter.
He received a 90-hour suspension without pay and lost 180 days of take-home car privileges.
In March 2006, Bostick got into a "heated argument" with a 16-year-old during a trespass investigation, police records stated.
Bostick called the 16-year-old a "drug dealer" and said several times, "You ain't sh- to me."
The juvenile had recorded the comments on his cell phone, and Bostick received 10 hours suspension without pay.
In a subsequent apology letter, Bostick wrote that he had no explanation for his actions, and the juvenile "just got underneath my skin."
Bostick was originally a 911 operator before being hired as a GPD officer in January 2000.
He worked in District Two Operations before transferring last September to the Tactical Impact Unit, which investigates violent crimes.
