ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A former Doraville police officer faces criminal charges in connection to the death of 16-year-old Susana Morales.

Doraville police officer Miles Bryant is charged with concealing the death of another and false report of a crime.

More specifically, a warrant application obtained by Atlanta News First outlines what investigators believe may have happened to Morales.

According to the warrant application, Bryant is suspected of rape and murder then dumping Morales’ naked body in the woods.

Right now, the 22-year-old former police officer has only been charged with concealing the teen’s death and giving a false report the day after she disappeared, only telling officers that someone broke into his vehicle and stole his gun.

At a court hearing Tuesday, a judge appointed an attorney for Bryant and informed him that he will likely have a preliminary hearing in a couple of weeks.
 
Waters said correctional officer Derrick Scott, who had been with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office for four-and-a-half years, is accused of child abuse of a non-sexual nature, a third-degree felony.

On Thursday, the child victim reported an injury at school. Waters said witness interviews and medical evidence led to Scott’s arrest.


According to an affidavit, an anonymous letter was sent to the Edmond Police Department (EPD) on March 29, detailing information about a former officer who was still working within the police department having an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old girl last summer.

The anonymous letter detailed that 68-year-old Timothy Owen was "texting her at school, during night, sometimes 60 or 70 texts a day." According to court documents, the letter stated some of the text messages between the minor and Owen included: "Are you a virgin?" and "I want to be your first."

  • Former Dyersburg police officer indicted, charged with raping minor while employed at department
  • On February 23, at the request of 29th Judicial District Attorney General Danny Goodman, TBI special agents began investigating allegations involving 29-year-old Sharquawn Henderson.

  • During the course of the investigation, agents developed information that Henderson, while employed as an officer of the Dyersburg Police Department, engaged in sexual activity with a juvenile in Dyer County.

I am about apoplectic reading these. Disgusting pigs. And I don't use pigs based on cops I use it in they are disgusting old men preying on minors. And yes I know the one is 29 and the other 60.
 
See. How cute. A baby pig. Awwww.
Cute GIF

I don't get how men can do this. If I see a child my instinct is to protect them. I was walking into Wegmans awhile ago and there was this little boy running ahead of his mother who had his sisters hand walking in. A car started pulling out of it's space and the mother yells to look out and stop. He was on my left, and instinctually I reached out my hand and stopped him. I think I said something like: Hold up little dude.

The mother thanked me for doing that. It wasn't even something I thought about.

I do the same. Yesterday at work a Somali man and his probably three or four year old daughter I noted shopping in one of our departments I was in. This isn't a common sight in the store or department. I see women and an occasional man alone or couple but rarely children and rarely one child with a man. He was in garb and she had a dress on and I just noticed them as I do with all customers, always also asking if help is needed. Anyhow I walked by and was working on something an aisle or two away and come out of the aisle and there is the girl coming back down an aisle running the other way and she was about four or five aisles away from her dad. She saw me and was startled a bit and then looked around and said not really to me but "where is my dad"... I looked at her and motioned the way they had last been and walked ahead of her to the aisle and thank goodness he was still there... She looked a bit distrusting and I pointed to the aisle and he saw me and she finally came ahead and looked and there he was. Five minutes later, it happened again and this time he was a bit further away but I was keeping my eye on her and even though done with my task, felt I couldn't leave the area.

I couldn't help but think of all the cases we see. I have seen other children in the store (rarely actually which is good) get a bit away from their parents who are looking or talking and that instinct kicks in. I watch and stay around until I see the parent realizes it or the child heads back to the parent, etc.

Yesterday I asked another customer if I could help him and he said yes, do you know where my wife went/is/got off to? LOL. I didn't. Sometimes I do but not in that case. He waited around, tried texting I think, stayed put, waiting. My shift ended. I have no idea if he ever found her lol.

A couple of years ago, we had a day out shopping when my mom was up visiting and THREE times in THREE different places I found myself watching out for children who were not near their parents. One was quite young and trying to head out the door into a parking lot and I figured her mom was in the store somewhere. I wouldn't enter the store until I saw her mom come out and find her (in like a two door entryway to the store). It was quite awhile. She was stuck checking out and the girl had left I guess. I kept stopping her from going outside.

Yes, I do not understand how anyone could ever do otherwise much less hurt them or victimize them. A different breed for sure.
 
Two officers with the Northwoods Police Department are facing charges, accused of kidnapping, beating and pepper spraying a man before leaving him in Kinloch.

Davis allegedly took the victim into custody on July 4 at a Walgreens in Northwoods. Authorities said Davis handcuffed the victim in the back of the patrol car, deactivated his body camera and did not tell the dispatcher he had someone in custody. He then drove the victim to the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Hugo Avenue in Kinloch, where he allegedly pepper-sprayed the man, hit him several times with his baton and ordered him not to return to Northwoods. Authorities said Davis did not write a police report on what happened.

Someone later found the victim lying bloody and wounded and called 911. A witness reportedly saw the officer standing over the victim the night of July 4. In a Facebook post, the woman stated that when she walked up to the victim, he told her, “Ma’am please, the police beat me in my head. Please help me.”

The victim suffered serious physical injuries, including a broken jaw.

Police say Hill was Davis’ supervising officer, and after the victim was handcuffed in the back of the patrol car, Hill went inside the Walgreens and made a statement to an employee about what would happen to the victim. Hill also did not turn on his body camera.

I've said it a million times and am sure to the point of being sickening, there is NO reason not to use body cams at all times to protect ALL SIDES and if one doesn't then something right there is being hidden and there's a reason. And if they don't by now, ALL departments should have them and they should be REQUIRED.

What['s the policy here? Because I'd say when TWO don't use them, it should be automatic dismissal and charging the officers. And I mean dismissal without pay. Not the usual bullsh*t. Maybe, just maybe, one can explain one and that would be WITHOUT this other info that seems to confirm it was for a reason meaning a statement to a Walgreen's employee, an injured man and then NO. No second chance.

AND if just one officer forgets to turn it on or use it three times they are DONE. Etc.

Just examples of rules that one would think would be in place and then firing without cause and in a case such as this charging with assault, etc. ASSUMING all shared is true.
 
O.K. At "Walgreen's" For shoplifting I'm guessing. It's not like he murdered someone or a high speed chase to where you could see an officer lose their temper. I'm not condoning it. But they really went ballistic on this man. If it proves to be true. And I believe it is.
