How about that Steve Foley situation?

Dude gets shot three times by an off-duty police officer, is out for the year, and ISN'T going to get paid his $1.6 million by the Chargers. Ouch, in more ways than one.

There was no new information released Monday about the shooting.
The Coronado Police Department continued to refer calls to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff's spokesman Capt. Glenn Revell said he didn't expect any new information to be released Monday from the homicide division, which was investigating. Revell said he didn't know when the identity of the Coronado police officer would be released.
Sheriff's officials said the shooting early Sunday occurred after the off-duty Coronado officer followed a suspected drunken driver weaving in and out of freeway traffic at speeds up to 90 mph. Authorities said the driver nearly collided with several other vehicles. It was Foley's second run-in with authorities in 4 1/2 months. He was arrested April 21 on charges of resisting arrest after police said he scuffled with officers. He also was booked on charges of battery on a police officer and public drunkenness.
