In 2014, Lieutenant Tryon was implicated in obstructing a criminal investigation into the alleged rape of a Hispanic high school female by members of the local high school football team. He allegedly returned cell phones containing potential evidence to the suspects, hindering the investigation. Additionally, Tryon was accused of returning a firearm to a suspect in a home invasion case due to personal connections, and making racially insensitive remarks to an African-American detective. These actions led to internal complaints and external investigations into his conduct.
