A Lancaster County Sheriff’s Deputy has been charged with six counts of Burglary 2nd Degree, four counts of Theft of a Controlled Substance and one count of Obtaining Prescription Drugs by Deceit, following allegations that he stole his 80 year old neighbor’s medications on numerous occasions.
The Lancaster County Sheriff denounced the deputy’s actions in a strong statement that included: “As law enforcement officers we are rightly held to a higher standard than others.” Faile continued, “The trust that is placed in us by the citizens we protect and serve is awesome and criminal behavior for any reason has no place in our profession.”

H/T Injustice Newsfeed (Note – Injustice Everywhere is providing an invaluable service that as far as I can tell is not available anywhere else, by not only providing a newsfeed that catches most if not all police misconduct stories nationwide, but also providing statistical analyses of the data obtained. The guy running the site puts a healthy amount of time into it and is asking for donations. He’s got a handy donate button on his site, and I encourage anyone who agrees that police misconduct needs to be tracked and brought into the open to go to his site and donate something, however small, to keep this service going. Thanks.)
