MURFREESBORO,
Tenn.-- A Murfreesboro police officer was suspended without pay for allegedly
selling a police-issued ballistic vest. Officer Jason Lowder allegedly sold the
vest to a 20-year-old Murfreesboro man through a website. The vest was taken
back and placed into evidence after officers questioned the man on how he came
into possession of the vest and determined the seller was Officer Lowder. An
internal investigation by MPD will be conducted.
