SPRINGVILLE, Utah (KUTV) — A Springville Police officer is accused of dishonesty involving a case that happened nine months before she reported her sergeant for misconduct and made allegations Officer Richard Jorgensen was sexually harassing her. Officer Kati Powell was terminated last December and has since filed an EEOC complaint. A 2News Investigation uncovered visual evidence Sgt. Kenneth Eley failed to tell Officer Powell, on July 14, 2023, the suspect she pulled over for speeding and was investigating for DUI, due to the smell of marijuana, disclosed to him that he had a traumatic brain injury.
Exactly four days after Officer Powell arrested Conner Monfredi for DUI, she was called to Monfredi’s home where she says Monfredi said he told her partner about the TBI. Powell reviewed her body camera video, and the disclosure came eight minutes into the video.
She says she immediately reported it to Sgt. Larry Teuscher - who told her to write a supplemental report making the disclosure of exculpatory evidence in the case. She also says Teuscher told her he would take care of it.
2News Investigates obtained the police report and the supplemental report Powell filed as she is required to do under the Brady Material Policy – our investigation further found that nothing was done, and Police Chief Lance Haight says he didn’t know about the incident until 2News Investigates requested the body camera footage which he initially denied.

There was a headline in our local paper this week concerning indictments handed down by the grand jury. A couple was indicted for bigamy.
Questions, I haz them:
First, I’m assuming this couple got married here in Page county because they live in Ohio. So how did Page County find out about the bigamy?
Second, the Court Case Information website shows the same offense date (I’m assuming that was the date of the marriage). He was arrested in December; she was arrested in May. Why the delay for her?
Third, they were *both* arrested and charged. Were they each married to someone else, or is it a crime in Virginia to marry someone who’s already married (if so, you’d almost certainly have to know of their marital status)?
I’m inexplicably interested in this case.

Edit: I don’t know about Ohio, but bigamy is some serious shit here in the Old Dominion - It’s a class 4 felony with a mandatory minimum two year sentence (and a max of 10 years). Who knew?

Not sure what you are querying here. The chief paid an undercover policewoman for sex and was busted. I dont see anything misleading about the story or headline.
OTOH, I also dont see why prostitution is illegal.

Deputy Dawg gets pissy:
Romines, speaking outside the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections, said the officer who attempted to stop Scheffler wasn't part of the regular event traffic detail at Valhalla Golf Club, "so that's where the miscommunication arose."
"They are allowed to go through, that's why they have the credential and the wave-through," Romines said. "He was unaware there had been a wreck, and he proceeded like they'd been instructed to. He did exactly as he was instructed to enter the premises."
Romines said Scheffler would cooperate fully with police, and "we'll deal with it as it progresses."

KSTP 5 Eyewitness News

A plastic baby doll that looked like a real baby in distress is the reason Minneapolis police say they raided a Twin Cities home last spring without a warrant, according to a new lawsuit filed against the officers.
MPD officers went to a home in Brooklyn Center to question two persons of interest in an ongoing homicide investigation. But records obtained by 5 INVESTIGATES now show that the officers weren’t even at the right home.

This was, according to Reuters, later debunked. The man was released not because he was an FBI Agent (he's not) but because they looked at his ID and saw he wasn't the dude they thought he was.John Thomas8 wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 9:18 pm Agent didn't play "do you know who I am?", he let the dirtbags find out for themselves:

Not sure why that's the cops behaving badly anyway. Looks more like the citizen behaving badly.
