re: #157 ryannon
Officer Solimini informed me that before the booking process was completed Ms. Bishop was released from custody without being charged.I (Chief Frazier) spoke with the retired Deputy Chief who was then a Lieutenant and was responsible for booking Ms. Bishop. He said he had started the process when he received a phone call he believes was from then Police Chief John Polio or possibly from a captain on Chief Polio’s behalf. He was instructed to stop the booking process. At some point Ms. Bishop was turned over to her mother and they left the building via a rear exit.
Wow, they never even filed charges. Maybe her family is really well connected or something.
