OCALA, Fla. — A Marion County Sheriff’s deputy faces a manslaughter charge after police say he accidentally shot his girlfriend in the head, according to the Ocala Police Department.

Leslie Boileau, 32, called the Ocala Police Department Thursday evening after his girlfriend, Polina Wright, was killed from what Boileau described as an “accidental discharge” of his firearm, according to the arrest report.

According to the report, Boileau and Wright returned home from dinner — where he said they each had three margaritas — and noticed his package of firearm cleaning supplies had been delivered.

Boileau said he began cleaning his pistol rifle and 9mm handgun when Wright asked him to teach her how to use the guns.

“I was cleaning the guns. We were pointing them at each other,” Boileau told a police officer during questioning, the arrest affidavit stated.

According to detectives, Boileau said he was providing training scenarios to Wright where they were pointing the firearms at one another — “which Boileau knew was wrong based on his profession as a law enforcement officer,” the report stated — and dry firing the weapons.

After cleaning and reassembling the weapons, Boileau told officers he gave the rifle to Wright to dry fire, with the red dot scope activated. After Wright fired a blank round, Boileau took the rifle and entered a loaded magazine into the chamber as he said he was planning to put the firearm away.

At the same time, Boileau said Wright had picked up his fully loaded 9mm Glock, so he took the firearm to clear the weapon of any live ammunition, according to the report, and then allowed Wright to dry fire the handgun.

After that, Boileau said he grabbed his rifle and dry fired it once. On the second dry fire attempt, Boileau said he had forgotten that he placed a loaded magazine into the rifle, which shot one live round, hitting Wright in the head between her eyes, the reported stated. Boileau claimed he did not chamber a live round from the rifle magazine, officers said.

Boileau stated he and Wright have done similar types of training in the past but described his behaviors as “sloppy,” according to the affidavit.

Detectives said Boileau held his girlfriend until law enforcement arrived. Ocala police said when they made contact with Boileau inside his home, he was standing behind a chair where Wright was sitting, holding her head.

After officers began to question Boileau, he said, “I know this looks really bad. I told her I did not want this to happen.”

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,” Police Chief Mike Balken said. “The Ocala Police Department is working with the State Attorney’s office to ensure justice is served.”
