In July 2012, former Anniston police officer Fred Boyd was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder following two shootings in Saks and Hobson City, Alabama. Boyd had resigned from the department in August 2011 after a 17-year career, during which he filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging racial discrimination and harassment. The EEOC found insufficient evidence to support his claims. Prior to his resignation, Boyd had been transferred to a desk job due to unspecified issues. The shootings resulted in the death of his wife, Cormella Boyd, and injuries to another individual. Boyd was extradited back to Alabama and held without bail pending trial.
