"Colchester, Vt., officer charged with taking drugs, gun
The police chief in Colchester, Vt., is calling it the darkest day in her department’s history. Chief Jennifer Morrison said town Detective Corporal Tyler Kinney will face federal charges in connection with the alleged thefts of drugs and a firearm from a police evidence locker. Authorities say the investigation began early Monday, when the gun that was supposed to be in the Colchester department’s possession turned up during a search carried out by Burlington police. Morrison said the investigation led to Kinney, a 12-year veteran of her department. The 38-year-old Jericho resident is to be charged formally on Wednesday in US District Court. It could not be determined immediately whether Kinney has a lawyer."
