If the Leland PD hadnt been under such scrutiny the Defense lawyer wouldnt have even had grounds to make his snarky remarks regarding the LPD but given circumstances over the past year he has a remotely valid point. My guess is they didnt arrest this guy willy nilly (especially since the town manager took out the trash at the police station), but its going to be awhile before LPD gets the tarnish off its badges sadly. That being said the lawyer will use any and all means to try to discredit what is likely a legitimate case against his client.
