BRADENTON,Fla. — Bradenton Police Chief Melanie Bevan said on Thursday that a former sergeant’s actions have cast a “dark shadow” on the police profession and have betrayed the trust of the police department and the people of Bradenton.
A citizen’s complaint led the police chief to open an internal affairs investigation into former sergeant Leonel Marines, who used agency resources to pursue dates and is now the subject of an FBI investigation.
