IMPD officers arrested.

[HoughMade]

My two main issues are. Was there an apparent motive other than conducting official duties? Did he have a legal right to keep the firearm(s) after taking possession of it/them?

Spin me out a hypothetical where they call the police to come pick up a gun, various police call each other to send a guy out there, the guy goes out there because the police were called and he was the police officer who does that sort of thing, the guy takes possession of the gun, as a police officer,, runs checks on it....and the gun is never checked in to evidence....and yet he is not conducting official duties or had a legal right to keep the gun.

I'm game.

Since you can read the PCA, did Copart call the police station, or did they call the officer directly? If they called the police station, I'm curious how the same officer got the same run on three separate occasions. That police department isn't that small.

Also noticed this started in 2019, ended up in a search in January and an arrest and charges now.

Seems alot of effort and work for nothing. My guess is there's more.

It's a little complicated. According to the PCA, there was an original call that other officers answered, but later the manager produced a business card for the def who she called and later e-mailed....but if the PCA is correct (again big if), the manager was contacting him in an official capacity.

[Mgr.] said that [Def.] was at the business often and she was comfortable speaking With him about things. The last time he had been in on theft report, he and [Mgr.] got to talking. [Def.] told her to have conversation with her team about safety and touching the items that they found in the vehicles ruins the integrity of police investigation and told her that they should leave them in the car and call police to recover them.

Just out of curiosity since this IS a gun forum.....what kinda Smith & Wesson gun was it?

I like Smith's.

LOL, the ever present INGO inner clique is alive & well.

Officer #1, no known connection to INGO, is charged, but not convicted at this time: INGO says "F that guy with his own nightstick".

Officer #2, known connection to INGO, is charged, but not convicted at this time: INGO says "Yeah, he didn't do that" or "PFFFT.... not even a crime! SO unfair! Axes are being ground! He's being railroaded to appease the masses"!!!

I knew when I heard about this I knew I'd see bias here.... I didn't expect it to be quite this rampant & obvious.

Wow I'm flattered. I've never been part of the inner clique of ingo EVER. CM is my friend but I guarentee if I screwed up and didnt listen to an in thread warning he would give me time off just like anyone else. If any mod warns I listen. It's a respect thing. Took me one whole account being axed to figure it out but I got the message loud and clear and I do my best to follow their rules.
If I dont want to follow the owners rules, I'm a big boy and I can click "sign off" and find another Avenue to spend my time.

As far as the member and "officer #2", we aren't "friends". I've never hung out with him. I was at 1 MAYBE 2 events that he has been at over the 10 years I've been a member. I said it earlier we've had our differences. I moved on and I have a lot of respect for the man and the job he does in real life. On here our paths really don't cross much.
I'd stick up for anyone I think has been wronged. It's really that simple.
The cliques aren't on ingo anymore. They were years ago yes and it was very frustrating. I was never part of those circles back then either. I was on the outside looking in I assure you.
You should stick around and come have some fun with us on here again.

 

[Dirtebiker]

This is certainly a reasonable position given the fact that you and other members know the individual personally. Even though I do not I have no reason to doubt his character given everything I have come to know about him over the course of many years as a member here.

I too will withhold any judgement until further developments come to light.

I won’t withhold judgement!

i won’t judge at all! Not up to me. I’ve met the man a couple times. Seems like a good dude to me.
If someone wants to give me free guns, I’ll take them. (As long as I’m legally allowed.)

 

[KellyinAvon]

I’m a few klicks from my cliques

 

[Dirtebiker]

It's a crime to possess a gun while drinking alcohol.

Huh?

 

[Dirtebiker]

Full disclosure, I keep all currency and electronics found when examining skin folds

I just threw up in my mouth a little!

 

[Sigblitz]

The first trip to the auction. Was for a clip, then a gun.

And it said another person had come forward saying he gave him a different gun.

So we are talking multiple guns and probably multiple parts.

Could this be an IMPD version of fast and furious?

How you been Bro?

 

[Dirtebiker]

A lot of speculation based on a few tidbits of info we are allowed to have at this point in the game.

No s**t!

 

[BugI02]

How you been Bro?

No posts since February 2014. Two in the last day, both in the same thread. You guys get busted for OMVI and the cop wouldn't sprout you? How butt hurt do you have to be to hold a grudge for 6 years? Either it's major or you're just small. I'm gonna go with B

 

[Sigblitz]

I have nothing to add,

I once picked up 2 twenties and a five, blowing through a parking lot.

but I heard there was good deal in the parking lot.

For reasons I should not need to explain this will be monitored extensively. Keep it real folks. Nuff said.

I took the hint and have kept my trap shut.
