Today marks the end of a long and difficult chapter. All criminal charges against me have been officially dismissed.
From the very beginning, I maintained that I was not guilty of any crime. My actions were never motivated by personal gain, malice, or criminal intent. I was doing what I have always done throughout my career: working to serve the public and seeking answers in a decades-old unsolved case.
While this process has been challenging for both me and my family, I remained confident that the truth would ultimately prevail.
I am grateful for the support, prayers, and encouragement from those who stood by me throughout this journey. I also want to thank my family, friends, legal team, and community members who never lost faith.
I also recognize that this process may have strained relationships with some of our law enforcement partners and colleagues. It is my sincere hope that, moving forward, we can focus on rebuilding those relationships, strengthening cooperation, and continuing to work together in service of the communities we are all sworn to protect.
It’s time we all move on! I hold no grudges toward anyone.
My focus remains where it has always been, serving others, supporting my community, and moving forward with integrity and purpose.
Thank you to everyone who stood with me.
