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.
