Charges against Greenwood officer dropped

[Bunnykid68]

That's one of them there fancy rhetorical questions, ain't it?

NOPE, it is one of those sarcastic questions.....no it's rhetorical...whats the difference

It's rather troubling that it appears as if we have another bungled alcohol issue in the greater Indianapolis area. This time, a child was involved. How was Mr. Dine able to refuse a test after an officer requests it? Was blood drawn?

Typical. He needs to be tossed out on his arse. The lack of criminal charges is sickening---the fact that he is still on the streets is a testament to how these matters are handled.

Because it is Greenwood. The trouble starts at the top in that town with the Sheriff

LOL.

A girl I went to high school with got a DUI while her kid was in the car(real classy chick, right?) and she no longer has custody of her daughter.

I guess she should have refused the breath test.

Assault, intimidation, and a DUI with a child present gets you a 5 day unpaid vacation...

This guy should really learn to leave his work at the office when he clocks out at night.

The Sheriff of Johnson County has nothing to do with this Greenwood police officer.

Just sayin'...

Here we go. A tidbit left out of the Fox 59 report.

Officer Nicholas Dine -- son of veteran Greenwood Police Lt. Bob Dine, who is challenging Mayor Charles Henderson in the May primary...

That probably explains the backroom deal.

I didnt forget. thats probly what it was. greenwood as a whole is known for under the table stuff. the mayor is crooked as they get.

Yes the department does have some good officers. a couple which im proud to have known through the years. i feel bad for them for going through something they have no control over.

Love the first comment in the comment section.

the back door deals tells me the accused officer could expose any corruption if the charges werent dropped.

Wonder what that air tastes like?

I would guess the previous post about his father running for mayor has more to do with it...it seems like an "excellent " reason for the charges to disappear.

Except the Sheriff is in Franklin, not Greenwood.

Just in as of 3:00 pm, Mayor fires the police chief and demotes the assistant chief back to his merit rank, and assigns him to the road.

Good for the Mayor!

Good for the Mayor!

Good for his campaign too. His opponent's son has the charges against him dropped in an alleged "backroom deal." People are most likely outraged. He then gets to step in and save the day by handing out discipline. Now everybody will remember him next election as the guy who fought back against what they percieved as corruption. Just my .

exactly!!

the mayor is a scum bag! If he cared so much about doing the city right, he would have fired the chief the night he was handing out drinks to one of his officers that obviously had a problem with alcohol. The mayor knew he was gonna get caught with his peter in his hand so he was forced to fire his buddy to save his own ass. now the former chief will sue the city and the city will settle, and the citizens will still come out as the ones getting boned. thats america!
