In 2013, Police Chief John Crane was suspended for 15 days by the Gadsden Civil Service Board after visiting Justin Denson, a capital murder suspect, in jail multiple times. Crane purchased clothing and deposited money into Denson’s jail account. These actions were deemed to potentially negatively impact the reputation of the Gadsden Police Department. Crane stated that his visits were for spiritual guidance and separate from his official duties.
