OK so I'm not shocked at all. More arrests in Prichard PD officer kidnapping investigation
A cop from Prichard, Alabama, made an "arrest" in Gulfport, Mississippi. There is just one small problem. He had no arrest authority in Mississippi, so what he did was (allegedly) kidnapping.
Other Deputies responding to the area located the patrol unit leaving the scene and initiated a traffic stop. The driver of the Prichard Police unit was identified as an off-duty Prichard, AL Police Officer, David Cunningham. Cunningham was wearing his firearm and Prichard PD badge. A passenger, Kristin Allen, was also identified. At that time, Deputies were made aware that there was a 21-year-old male in the backseat of the patrol car that was handcuffed. Deputes removed the handcuffs and released the male from the backseat of the patrol car.
So why did he think he could do this? You are disrespecting his authority by even asking the question.
Due to Cunningham being out of state with no enforcement powers, knowingly detaining an individual, and removing him from the scene, a warrant was issued for Cunningham for Kidnapping. Allen assisted Cunningham with creating multiple versions of events in an effort to justify Cunningham’s unlawful actions and detention of the individual. A warrant was issued for Allen for Hindering Prosecution.
Allen was given a $50,000 bond. Cunningham is held on $500,000 bond.
Sadly, neither can be charged with felony stupidity in Mississippi.
