Carlisle police chief placed on administrative leave..

This weekend the City of Carlisle read the news of Mayor Tim Humphries city owned computer and other items being seized by the Carlisle Police Department by many media outlets.  Yesterday, the publicity stretched further into the world of Television News.  The trucks, lights, and reporters were the talk of town as WLWT, Channel 5 was out in the city building their story.  We have talked to a few people who were asked questions about the mayor outside of the gas stations and if you saw the video (link at bottom) a few business owners where asked of their opinion of the story.

Here is the timeline thus far generated from several reports in the media:

City of Carlisle Police was informed about possible content by phone call lead.

October 17th Investigation begins

November 5th: 
Search Warrant issued to Mayor Tim Humphries to seize computer and contents
City of Carlisle Police Department seize computer from City Offices.

November 13th:
Mayor Tim Humphries denied any knowledge of the search warrant to media.
Police Chief Tim Boggess states to different media outlets he personally served Humphries the warrant on November 5th.

As of today:
No charges have been pressed.
Computer and contents are at FBI forensic computer laboratory.
Police Chief Tim Boggess expects to hear from FBI this week.
Inappropriate content has not been identified the information and warrant was sealed by courts.

This is not giving the City of Carlisle the greatest of all press.  It is not the greatest of all stories with all the great publicity we have received with the State Playoff Indian football team.  It is also coming off one of the biggest voter response this past election in a non-presidential election.

We will keep the city up to date with news on this as we get it.

Sources tell us that this morning one of the picnic tables at Roscoe Roof Park had been burnt and was still smoldering as of this morning.

We are not sure if it was intentionally set on fire or was by accident but yet it still is damage to a park that is widely used by our residents for Birthday parties, family reunions, and other gatherings. The park is also used by many as a wonderful walk or jog on the walking path that goes around the entire perimeter of the park.

If this was indeed some vandalism, it is a shame. Why does it seem okay to even children or whoever to damage city property in this way. We commend the city and their effort to provide such a nice place for the residents. Yet, some seem not to care and cause damage.

Such a pity and hopefully the police department begins to patrol with more awareness with these types of acts and the breaking and entering of cars in neighborhoods, as reported last week, in our Lock your doors at night....article.

Are these incidents random? Are they from summer boredom with our youth? What do you think? Carlisle Daily would love to hear your comments. Click here to let us know.
