Evansville Police held a press conference to announce the issuance of warrants for the arrest of two police supervisors on charges related to corrupt business influence and fraud. The supervisors have since turned themselves in and face felony charges for fraudulently invoicing the Evansville Housing Authority over $18,000 for shifts they did not intend to work. Separately, Indiana State Police confirmed that a trooper is facing felony counts of theft and fraud. In other law enforcement news, Lakeland police leaders addressed hiring procedures and an upcoming controversial training session, while the DeKalb County CEO called for a comprehensive review of law enforcement actions during a recent ICE protest in Chamblee.
