AUBURN, Ind. (ADAMS) – Back in February of 2020, detectives with the Indiana State Police were requested to investigate property reported missing from the Auburn Police Department’s evidence storage room, believed missing sometime within the year preceding November 2018.
Detectives from the Toll Road Post recently concluded that investigation, which was then turned over to assigned Special Prosecutor, Whitely County Prosecutor DJ Sigler for review and determination of possible charges. Subsequent to that review, an arrest warrant was issued for the arrest of, Stacy E. Sexton, 51, of Waterloo, IN.
Indiana State Police released the following:
Sexton was taken into custody by troopers Friday night in downtown Auburn, without incident. He was transported to the DeKalb County Jail and booked into custody under a $1500 cash bond on the following *charges:
Ct. 1) Theft, Level 6 Felony
Ct. 2) Official Misconduct, Level 6 Felony
At the time of the alleged offenses, Sexton was employed as a detective with the Auburn Police Department. He has since retired from duty. Any questions regarding Sexton’s former employment with the Auburn Police Department should be directed to that agency.
There is no further information to release on this investigation at this time.
*The foregoing arrest and charges are merely allegations at this point. All criminal suspects are to be presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.
