Jackson County Prosecutor Melesa Johnson announced on May 18 that a grand jury indicted MSHP Trooper Charles 'Nate' Bradley on 13 counts including 10 of tampering with physical evidence, acceding to corruption by a public servant, stealing more than $25,000, and first-degree property damage after a year-long investigation, according to KCTV5. Prosecutors allege Bradley used his trooper position to help towing companies profit from stolen vehicles by bypassing law enforcement procedures, retained a stolen $25,000 necklace tied to a jewelry store burglary, and damaged a 2017 Alfa Romeo by puncturing its tires.
Operator takeaway
Rotation-list towing only works if the dispatching officer is straight. Audit your rotation referrals back to 2020, document every Troop A call you handled, and put the file somewhere you can find it; somebody on the defense side is going to ask which tows came from a tainted source.
