Upper Pottsgrove Corporal Sean Farrell, 58, is charged with voluntary manslaughter in the August 23 incident that took the life of Glen “Bubba” Pysher IV, 22 — a college baseball catcher who went to the wrong house after a night out in his own hometown.
Prosecutors say Farrell’s own body-worn camera shows Pysher with his hands up, unarmed, 17-20 feet away, when Farrell fired twice mid-command. Farrell claimed Pysher charged him — the recording shows otherwise. A Taser and baton sat unused on his belt.
Bail was set at $75,000 with a full weapons surrender. Preliminary hearing: September 10.
Charges are allegations. Farrell is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Former Amarillo police officer Christian Eder ran his romantic rival’s license plate through Flock cameras 76 times in five months — typing official-sounding reasons into the system to cover his tracks. An internal audit caught every search. He was fired July 17. The public learned 33 days later, only after a news station started asking. Now he faces 78 counts of tampering with government records — and pled not guilty after turning himself in at the Potter County Detention Center.
This is the 7th Flock misuse case this channel has covered — from Goodson, FL (717 searches) to Katy, TX (2,386 lookups) to a Georgia prison system investigator charged just this week.
Should Amarillo cancel its Flock contract? What’s your take?
Dexter, Missouri. K-9 Apollo — an active drug dog the city paid $8,900 for — dropped from 67 pounds to 41 in his handler’s kennel. The necropsy said starvation. Retired K-9 Knox was found with heartworms and worn teeth. Officer Derrick Durall said he fed them twice a day and never noticed.
He was charged with two felony counts of animal torture. The plea deal erased both felonies. His sentence: 15 days.
In Missouri, Max’s Law (SB 765, 2024) makes harming a police dog a felony — up to 7 years. His handler got 15 days. Same dog. Different rules.
Jarrod Bishop, a training lieutenant with the Duncan, Oklahoma Police Department, was booked into the Stephens County Jail at 2:52 a.m. after an off-duty vehicle-pedestrian collision that took a pedestrian’s life.
Complaints filed against him include a second-degree felony, leaving the scene of a collision with a fatality, and obstructing an officer, according to the Stephens County Sheriff’s Department and News9.
The Duncan Police Department has placed him on administrative leave. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is leading the investigation. The victim has not been publicly named, and officials have not released further details.
Two Colleton County lieutenants. One audit. Eleven days.
Lt. Ruben Carter — a 28-year veteran of the Colleton County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina — ran more than 2,700 unauthorized Flock license plate searches on 14 different people, including himself, fellow deputies, and former associates. Not one had a case attached. Fired August 20, 2026.
Eleven days later, Lt. Kevin Smalls was fired too. 62 unauthorized searches in six months, including vehicles registered to his own spouse. The agency’s statement called it “personal reasons.”
The same internal audit caught both men. And before that audit existed, the captain responsible for auditing the system was also its own administrator.
Sheriff Buddy Hill has requested a SLED criminal investigation into both former lieutenants. Both walked out. No charges yet.
What’s your take — is being fired enough, or should these be criminal cases? Drop it in the comments.
Former Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright reported to federal prison after stealing $80,000 from a deputies’ benevolence fund to pay his drug dealer $600 a week. He also obtained 147 opioid pills under false pretenses and kept a ghost employee on the payroll. Judge Timothy Cain gave him the maximum: 41 months.
A Duncan, Oklahoma police training lieutenant reported hitting a deer at 10:46 PM. Troopers say the collision actually happened at 9:39 — and the man on the bicycle he struck, David Setayesh, never made it home.
Court documents say debris from Jarrod Bishop’s Ford F-150 was scattered two hundred feet down Highway 81. When troopers found the truck at his house, they documented paint transfer, dried biological evidence on the fender — and a mostly-used roll of paper towels inside the cab.
Bishop refused a chemical test, so troopers got a warrant. He also refused to give up his phone passcode. Twice. He’s now facing a second-degree felony complaint on a $150,000 bond.
Ask yourself: if anyone else called in a deer strike sixty-seven minutes after a collision, what would happen to them?
Two corrections officers at Florida’s now-closed “Alligator Alcatraz” detention facility now face battery charges over one handcuffed detainee.
FDLE confirmed to WINK Investigates that officer Andre Seenaraine was arrested in connection with the same January 25 incident that already led to charges against officer Stephen Trejos. Both pleaded not guilty. Both posted $1,000 bond.
A former detainee told WINK more than 100 people were left in handcuffs for hours without food or water before the confrontation. He says Trejos slammed and struck detainee Rigoberto Rodriguez Arce in one room — and Seenaraine continued the confrontation in a second room.
Rodriguez Arce’s own attorney says a Texas facility opened an investigation after he arrived with a black eye and bandages. That inquiry reached Florida investigators.
Trejos is claiming stand-your-ground immunity, saying a single “compliance strike” was “intended to redirect his face” after the detainee allegedly spat. The judge has not ruled.
A grand jury separately found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million tied to the facility. No charges were filed over that finding.

A Kansas judge dismissed every charge against Wyandotte County deputy Richard Fatherley in the case of Charles Adair — a 50-year-old wheelchair user booked over misdemeanor traffic warrants who never came home from the county jail. The DA tried to disqualify all 16 county judges from the case, and failed. The deputy was never arrested and stayed home on unpaid leave the entire time. His county email stayed active for seven months after charges — including contact with possible witnesses. The family watched the officer-worn camera video and called it devastating. The public still has not seen it. The DA is now appealing.
