In December 2023, Officer John Daniels II was accused of intercepting a letter from a detainee intended for a judge, in which the detainee reported a sexual assault by another officer. Daniels allegedly coerced the detainee into writing a statement, which he then destroyed, and later charged the detainee with filing a false police report. The detainee reported these actions to multiple authorities, including the Attorney General of Alabama and the U.S. Department of Justice. The outcome of these reports is not specified in the available information.
