More than a dozen current and former officers have been charged with various crimes, including former Police Chief Scott Gardner, who is accused of fraud, theft, money laundering and tampering with records.

The victim was at the gas station to pick up a check for his business when an irate customer started screaming at the cashier and then at the victim, prosecutors said in court. The victim left to go call 911 but Sims was already on scene. "While stopped, Sims found and removed $1,300 of the victim's money from the trunk of the vehicle," prosecutors said.
Cole was accused of stealing money, marijuana and guns from victims on four separate occasions, prosecutors said. During one traffic stop on Sept. 22, 2020, he robbed a 43-year-old victim of $850 and about $400 worth of suspected marijuana, according to the news release. He then issued the driver a traffic citation. The citation included his signature and the forged signature of a police sergeant who was not on the scene, prosecutors said.
