The officer had previously been a military police officer with the U.S. Army and lives in Junction City. He resigned from the police department, leaving it with five full-time officers. Hornaday declined to name the officer because it is a personnel issue.
“It’s not a matter of us not wanting to tell you who it is, because we have no reason whatsoever to protect the former officer,” he said.
Hornaday said the case has been discussed with Dickinson County attorney, but he doesn’t expect criminal charges.
So if I started a national news hoax like this and if caught, they’d just say it was a personal issue, not name my name. I don’t think so.
