Prichard Police Corruption Exposed | Mobile News

Two Prichard police officers are facing serious corruption charges after allegedly accepting bribes while working off-duty security — first $1,000 to let suspects go free, then a follow-up demand for $400 that led to a sting operation. Charged with bribery, extortion, and abuse of authority, they’re part of a wider scandal rocking the department so badly that the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office now handles law enforcement — and a grand jury even recommends abolishing the city’s police force. The DA insists on prosecuting to restore public trust, while Dotch’s lawyer questions the informant’s credibility — but prosecutors say the evidence holds. Three other officers are also implicated in this unraveling department, as the mayor faces a critical decision about its future.
