This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories

A New York head narc finally gets nailed for a series of hit and runs, a former Alabama state trooper goes to prison for a cocaine trafficking conspiracy, and more. Let's get to it:

In Raleigh, North Carolina, a Wake County jail deputy was arrested September 3 for allegedly smuggling a variety of drugs into the jail at the John H. Baker Public Safety Center. Deputy Hillary Seekins, 31, was arrested during her shift after investigators got a tip that she was supplying contraband. She is charged with possession with the intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver cocaine, K2 (synthetic marijuana), and suboxone, possession of a controlled substance in jail, and three counts of conspiracy of possession with the intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver a controlled substance.

In Buffalo, New York, the Erie County Sheriff's Office Chief of Narcotics and Intelligence pleaded guilty August 15 to damaging a number of cars in a series of hit and run accidents last year. Chief Daniel "DJ" Granville pleaded guilty on Friday to Reckless Driving and Leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Only Accident. He was sentenced to 50 hours of community service and nearly $700 in fines. News of the crashes first surfaced in a lawsuit last year that charged Granville had negligently, recklessly, and carelessly crashed into multiple parked cars in his county-owned vehicle. Witnesses said he was combative after the crashes and that Buffalo Police protected Granville by failing to do a field sobriety test or a breathalyzer test. The special prosecutor assigned the case said Buffalo Police did not cooperate with his investigation. Granville was placed on administrative leave in April, after the civil suit was filed, and he is now suspended without pay.

In Montgomery, Alabama, a former state trooper was sentenced August 28 to six years in federal prison for his role in a cocaine trafficking conspiracy. Michael Evans, 53, was one of nine people sentenced in a large-scale operation that trafficked cocaine from Mexico into Alabama. The operation unraveled after the DEA began investigating one of the defendants, who traveled to Texas and Mexico to further the conspiracy. After agents seized six kilograms of cocaine in June 2024, they rolled up the conspiracy, including then State Trooper Evans. He copped to one count of conspiracy to traffic cocaine.
