In late 2007, Chief of Police Nick Finer led an investigation into an alleged murder and assault-for-hire conspiracy. The investigation involved orchestrating an undercover operation where an officer posed as a hitman. The operation resulted in the arrest of Fred and Garret Daniels. However, the charges were later dismissed, and the Daniels filed a lawsuit against the City of Hartford and Chief Finer, alleging false arrest and imprisonment. The court found that the investigation was reasonable and that the officers had probable cause for the arrests.
