Cop who killed Ashli Babbitt has 'significant' discipline history, including gun incidents: Report | Blaze Media

Michael L. Byrd was promoted from lieutenant to captain in 2023 despite a “significant” history of referrals to the Capitol Police Office of Professional Responsibility, said U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), chairman of the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight.

The records of three disciplinary cases against Byrd are missing, according to Loudermilk. “This is disappointing, as the inability to locate these documents hinders the subcommittee from fulfilling its responsibility to conduct comprehensive oversight over the USCP,” Loudermilk wrote in a Nov. 20 letter to Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger.
