Indiana police officer arrested, charged in FBI cocaine distribution probe
An Anderson police officer was charged with three counts related to drug trafficking on Aug. 5 after the FBI said he facilitated cocaine purchases in two undercover transactions, according to newly unsealed court records. Ty'Ray Wilson was arrested on suspicion of distributing controlled substances alongside another man for two weeks starting July 21. They face two counts of drug distribution and one count of carrying a firearm during drug trafficking and are eligible for up to $2.25 million in fines and life sentences, according to court records. Wilson began with the Anderson Police Department in 2018, according to his LinkedIn profile. It is unclear if Wilson remains employed with agency, which did not respond to multiple emails and a voicemail to discuss his employment status. Both men were in U.S. Marshal custody as of July 7 records. Their detention hearing is scheduled for Aug. 13. Anderson police officer charged in FBI cocaine probe According to federal court records, an informant told the FBI that Wilson previously sold him cocaine twice. The informant, whose identity was hidden, said they'd done cocaine with Wilson before and seen him use cocaine in public. They also said they had at least once seen Wilson have methamphetamine. The FBI began sting operations involving Wilson around late July by providing a "cooperating human source" with monitoring technology and drug money. Both purchases were suspected to be cocaine, the FBI said in court records. During the first sting, the informant met Wilson at an address where his assigned police car was parked. Wilson and the informant got into a black Dodge Rebel and picked up the codefendant, who Wilson said he believed had the cocaine. The three returned to the initial address, where Wilson told the FBI's purchaser to return later to pick up the cocaine. About two hours later, the informant returned and made the purchased cocaine from the codefendant, the FBI said. The agency noted Wilson had a semi-automatic handgun and two phones during the exchange, according to court records. Wilson was not on duty during the transaction. During the second sting about one week later, the FBI made another purchase from the codefendant, who said during the exchange that drug money moved between him and Wilson, according to court documents. The FBI noted the codefendant wore the same handgun on his hip Wilson had during the first exchange, officials said. The FBI collaborated with the Muncie Delaware County Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration to investigate Wilson.

Man who burned a Virginia city councilman intended to kill him, police say
DANVILLE, Va. -- Police say a man who doused a Virginia city councilman in gasoline and set him on fire told investigators he wanted the attack to be fatal, according to charging documents available Thursday. Officials say the motive appears personal and unrelated to Lee Vogler's work as a public official. After Wednesday's attack, the 38-year-old father of two was flown by medical helicopter to a burn unit in North Carolina. The hospital hasn't provided an update on his condition. According to police, witnesses and Vogler himself, Shotsie Michael Buck-Hayes, 29, poured gasoline on the councilman after barging into his workplace at a local magazine. Buck-Hayes chased Vogler outside and ignited the gas, later telling police he intended for the flames to kill him, according to the documents. Buck-Hayes has since been charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated malicious wounding. Edward Lavado, an attorney representing him, declined to comment to The Associated Press on Thursday. At the scene, Vogler was able to tell multiple witnesses that Buck-Hayes had burned him, according to the charging documents. The complaint doesn't give details on how Buck-Hayes was taken into custody. The records were first reported by the Danville Register and Bee. Vogler has served on the Danville City Council for more than a decade and is known as a fixture of the small city near the Virginia-North Carolina state line, about 140 miles (230 kilometers) north of Charlotte. The police documents list a Danville address for Buck-Hayes as well. Andrew Scott Brooks, editor and publisher of Showcase Magazine, says the attacker forced his way into the office despite the door being locked and went straight for Vogler. 'The next thing, Lee is running through the office covered in gasoline, yelling for our officemate to call 911,' Brooks said Wednesday.
