A Jackson County judge on Tuesday removed the house-arrest requirement and discontinued GPS monitoring as pretrial conditions for Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper Charles 'Nate' Bradley, who was indicted May 18 on 13 counts including 10 of tampering with physical evidence and one of acceding to corruption by a public servant, according to KCTV5. Bradley is scheduled for a pretrial hearing July 17; Kansas City attorney John Picerno said any case Bradley touched 'is going to be looked at with a fine-toothed comb.'
Operator takeaway
Every defense attorney with a Missouri stolen-vehicle case from the last decade is now looking at whether Bradley signed off on the recovery. If your company has had any Troop A interaction tied to a stolen-vehicle tow, pull the file and document the chain of custody before someone subpoenas it.
