Court documents claim the man wanted to run for Brookville Town Board but was known to police for being anti-law enforcement.
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ind. - A police department in Indiana is being investigated after allegations surfaced of officers targeting a man and arresting him for rape because they did not want him in an elected position.The officers under investigation are members of the Brookville Police Department.
“Keep in mind that the board is the boss of the law enforcement,” he said.“And they then got a search warrant, went into the house and arrested both individuals for possession of marijuana and some other things,” McMillin said. “And then also arrested the individual who was running for the town board for the old rape charge. So, there’s a lot of problems with it.
“It just makes me uncomfortable knowing that you’re trying to ruin someone’s life basically, over your small town politics,” she said.“He says, ‘Yeah, he’s trying to take the spot on the board, and we don’t want him on the town board,’” she said. “I was like, ‘Why is that?’ He said, ‘Well, he hates cops.’”“Small town politics is too much for me,” she said. “So, I just stay out of it.”McMillin said while he appreciates local law enforcement, he’s disappointed in what happened to his client.
