Former San Angelo Police Chief indicted - radio related

[hiegtx]

elected police chief ? is that an San Angelo thing?

I believe so. In most Texas counties, while the county Sheriff is elected, most cities & towns (all of them here in the DFW area, I believe), the police chief is appointed by the Mayor, of vote of the city council, or chosen by the city manager (if the city uses that form of government, as Dallas does).

Oh, this is so "west Texas, LOL. Gosh, I wonder why encryption was needed?

Dailey Wells has always been corrupt!

Joke at work was when the Dailey Wells bus pulls in to Vegas, everyone on the Moto bus would get on the Dailey Wells bus. "See you later, we're going to the ranch"

Can’t wait for the FBI and Rangers to get into Richard Wells’ computers and accounts. Total slime ball.

This was all during the San Antonio RFP. Legal, but shady AF. Wonder if anyone in the PD or FD had a rock band LLC getting money funneled.

Wow! A police chief with a criminal front business! Funky Munky indeed.

I'm gonna go with a no.

Cleaning up bribes is always a good thing for taxpayers and folks that don't participate in that business technique.

Is that the Strong Signals Richard Wells?

I may be wrong but I think Rich Wells was on the east coast someplace and I think he died several years ago.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and right now San Antonio looks like the inside of Cheech and Chongs low rider!

 

[otter9309]

They sure are generous

Was Big M the tipster in this case.

Who knows. Those *rumors* have been circulating in the Public Safety Communications community for years. MTUG, TDEM Conferences, IWCE.

Even when someone else not affiliated to MSI at all did something illegal it's still MSI's fault.

Of course! MSI are the NY Yankees of the radio world...the Evil Empire.

Wow! I see the feds going in and looking at every contract assuming that someone somewhere was on the take. This could get interesting.

 

[mostinterestingman]

I am sure they already have either physically seized or remotely accessed the computers owned by the person and company that wrote the check
