GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- The Duluth police officer accused of shooting another police officer went before a judge for the first time Tuesday.

With his left hand still bandaged from a gunshot wound, 42-year-old Jay Dailey tried to cover his face from courtroom cameras. Dailey, a Duluth police officer, made his first court appearance since he was arrested for assaulting a female driver and opening fire on a Fulton County police officer February 1.

A detective took the stand Tuesday with details of what Dailey said to investigators.

"He told them that he remembered walking down Level Creek Road, he remembered wrecking his car, and he started making a motion as if he was pulling a trigger, and he said that his finger was tired,” said Det. Shelly Millsap with the Gwinnett County Police Department.

Tuesday, Millsap took the stand and said when the female driver, Laresa Graham, was driving down Level Creek Road in Sugar Hill, Dailey flagged her down and told her he was a police officer, was injured and needed help so she began to call 911.

"He reached in, grabbed her phone, he was cursing at her, threatened her, she said that was when he started saying, ‘I'm going to kill you, you're ruining my life now,’ said Millsap.

Police said Dailey eventually pepper-sprayed Graham in the face before pointing his gun at two passer-bys who stopped to help, then shooting at Fulton County police officer Cpl. Paul Philips, who was on his way home when he pulled up to the scene. Philips was shot in the left arm and had to undergo surgery.

Millsap also talked about what Philips said happened. "He said almost immediately the guy (Dailey) drew his weapon. He said he stuck up his left hand to say hold on, and as he put up his hand, he heard the first shot, and he said he knew he had been hit in his left arm. He drew his weapon and returned fire,” said Millsap.

Dailey’s attorney had no comment for Channel 2 Tuesday. His family was also in the courtroom and visibly upset. They also had no comment.

Dailey remains in the Gwinnett County Jail without bond.
