HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) Two Henrico County police officers are off the streets now as they face charges for trespassing and indecent exposure.
According to the Mathews County Sheriffs Office, Aubrey Hughes and Austin LaFollette were both charged with trespassing after a citizen complaint on July 8. Hughes was also charged with indecent exposure.
Both officers were off-duty at the time, but there are no other details of what led up to these charges.
Investigations launched into death at Riverside Regional Jail
Henrico Police says both officers, who have been employed by the county since 2013, are on a paid administrative assignment after being charged for the July 8 incident.
A Henrico Police spokesperson confirmed Aubrey Hughes and Austin LaFollette
The Police Division confirms its Office of Professional Standards will conduct a separate and independent investigation into the alleged offenses.
I'd like to know more about what happened. This was not in Henrico county but well East in Matthews County where many boat owners launch their boats.
What exactly do they do in their administrative assignment or is it really a paid vacation? Police are not noted for disciplining their own.
