U. of W. Alabama officer charged
A University of West Alabama police officer is under arrest, charged with misusing confidential law enforcement information.
Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center agents say 44-year-old William Dale Flowers turned himself in at the Sumter County Sheriff's Office Monday.
He's been released under a $20,000 bond.
Alabama Attorney General's Office presented evidence to a Sumter County grand jury which resulted in a nine-count indictment against Flowers.
The indictment charges that he willfully obtained or sought to obtain criminal offender record information by accessing the Law Enforcement Tactical System under false pretenses that it was for an official law enforcement or criminal justice purpose.
