Prior to joining the Lebanon Police Department, Officer Roberts was subject to a criminal investigation in Vermont for his alleged involvement in a home-invasion assault in the 1990s. Although he was never charged, this history was not disclosed during a 2007 trial where his testimony contributed to a conviction. The failure to disclose this information led to the conviction being overturned in 2023. Roberts has since risen to the rank of Chief of the department.

Why This Matters
By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
