Help Needed: Decatur, AL Police Sergeant Missing After Apparent Struggle
ByNevermind.
From the Huntsville Times:
Missing Decatur police Sgt. Faron White was found and arrested late last night in a Las Vegas motel.
U.S. Marshals arrested White in the lobby of a Hampton Inn around 11:15 p.m. and transported him to the Clark County Detention Center where he was charged as a fugitive from justice.
Decatur police say White stole more than $2,500 from the department and then staged a struggle at his office before fleeing to Nevada.
Sarah Elizabeth Richardson of Decatur was also arrested and charged with first degree hindering prosecution or apprehension for allegedly helping Sgt. White stage his disappearance.
White is being held on a $20,000 bond in Nevada, while Richardson is being held at the Decatur city jail under a $2,500 bond.
White, 48, who supervises the department’s Organized Crime Unit, was last seen working alone Friday night in his office at the department’s Training Center. His family reported him missing early Saturday after he failed to come home.
Bizarre.

after hearing this guy staged his diasappearance, just for a joy ride trip, is sad! it honestly makes question our law enforcement. I think this guy should be punished to the fullest extent, and he needs no “break from justice”. this is a sad story that had a “happy” ending. great work to those who searched and located him.
