Former Lieutenant Joey Hoadley was convicted in September 2022 of three federal felonies: falsifying a record in a federal investigation, tampering with a witness by harassment, and tampering with documents. The charges stemmed from a 2017 incident where Hoadley struck a handcuffed man during an arrest and subsequently falsified reports to cover up the misconduct. He was sentenced to three months in federal prison in February 2023.
