Kevin KincerA Chattanooga police property sergeant who is accused of stealing drugs from the evidence room posted bond from the county jail after he was indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury earlier this week.
Kevin Kincer, a 22-year veteran of the department, was reported to administrators Dec. 16 by another employee in the property room. He now faces three counts of official misconduct and three counts of theft — including a felony count.
The case was the catalyst for security upgrades and forced employees to take inventory of all property and evidence in the building.
“There’s a great deal of security — there’s even more so now. If nothing else, the real story is we obviously found out there was a problem and security measures were not quite intense enough,” Capt. David Woosley said.
“The physical surveillance, the electronic surveillance is being multiplied many times over,” he said.
