Indiana police chief Earl D. Mayo, who leads the New Chicago Police Department, is arrested and faces felony charges related to guns handled during police investigations. Multiple reports say Mayo is accused of stealing firearms that police had confiscated as evidence and then selling them through a pawn shop. According to the accounts, the alleged activity involves guns taken from criminal investigations, rather than guns acquired through lawful police channels. One report states that Mayo was arrested on Friday and charged in connection with the alleged resale of the weapons. Another outlet similarly reports that Mayo is charged with allegedly selling crime guns to a pawn shop, citing the same defendant and department. The reports describe the charges as felonies, but they do not provide additional details about the specific statutes involved or the number of guns referenced in the allegations. The coverage is based on the criminal charges filed against Mayo following his arrest, and it presents the allegations as claims made by prosecutors rather than established facts.
