Karl Turner – Johnson City Police Department

Written by CBKN76

As the former Police Chief, Karl Turner faced allegations of dismissing critical evidence in sexual assault cases. Notably, during a search of Sean Williams’ residence, a list titled ‘raped’ with 23 women’s names was found. Turner downplayed its significance, stating uncertainty about its meaning. This response contributed to accusations of the department’s failure to properly investigate sexual assault allegations, leading to a $28 million settlement with victims.
