## Resource

A police captain, 54, is out on bail after being accused of helping cover up a murder and hiding ballistic evidence — all stemming from a deadly shooting in 2024. Charged with being an accessory after the fact and possessing ammo, he allegedly tampered with reports and removed critical evidence. Despite prosecution fears he’ll interfere with the investigation, a magistrate granted bail with strict conditions: no work, no police contact without permission, no witness tampering, and passport surrender within days. The case is now delayed until August 2026 to allow further investigation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
