    On March 18, 2023, Officer John Guyton detained a woman for allegedly smoking a cannabis cigarette. During the encounter, Guyton failed to collect the alleged cannabis as evidence and made inappropriate comments regarding the woman’s aspirations to become a corrections officer. An internal investigation found that Guyton did not follow proper evidence collection procedures and engaged in unprofessional conduct. He subsequently resigned from the department.

Why This Matters
