The Grand Jury dismisses 58 cases associated with the evidence of police evidence in Hanceville

Hanceville, ala. (WBMA) – Cases associated with several former police officers in Hanceville who were charged with physical evidence due to manipulations and the use of office systems for personal profit.

District Prosecutor Crocker said that a Grand jury who had previously charged the officials later found that their cases were unsafe together with dozens of others from the Hanceville police.

When the Grand jury returned in April, she voted for 58 cases of crimes for the alleged illegal actions that were bound to the former officers.

Crocker said most of these cases concerned drugs, and only a few were personal crimes with victims. “Discharge is too many, but the Grand jury had no other recourse,” said Crocker.

Crocker also published the results of an examination that was carried out in the department, which contained a full list of dismissed cases and photos, showing firearms, lack of cash and the general condition of the police room in Hanceville.

At the beginning of this year, when the charges were announced, Crocker emphasized concerns about the evidence space of the police authority, which was unsure with a large hole in the wall. “Criminal evidence must be certain in order to have this evidence for law enforcement and for a proper procedure. This evidence was anything but safe,” said Crocker.

“I have undertaken to open myself transparently and with the citizens of Cullman County. In view of this obligation, you can find the police department of the Hanceville police department under the Alabama State Bureau of Investigations,” said Crocker.

After the examination, 650 evidence packages were found. Of this amount, 249 packages were not documented with case numbers. 96 firearms were found. Of these, 30 not documented with case numbers.

The exam showed that approximately 78 evidence/bags were not sealed or torn open. Based on labels for these packages, there were no quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine, oxycodon, adderall and heroin.

25 evidence packages, some date from 2006, were in the temporary lockers.

The audit also showed that an envelope that was accepted became $ 983 down and empty.

Weapons and ammunition were also classified as missing.
