In December 2023, John Daniels II was accused of intercepting a detainee’s letter reporting sexual assault by another officer. He allegedly coerced the detainee into writing a statement, which he then destroyed, and later issued a warrant against her for filing a false report. Daniels was also accused of providing false badge numbers and lacking formal police training. The detainee reported these actions to multiple authorities, but the outcomes are not detailed in the available information.
