Barrackville, West Virginia, authorities place the entire Barrackville Police Department on relief of duty following an allegation involving the department’s evidence room. Multiple reports say the department announces that, effective immediately, every member of the police force has been relieved. The action follows claims by a former sergeant that the evidence room was broken into. The reports describe the firing or removal as applying to all officers rather than specific individuals tied to the claim. The information presented across the outlets focuses on the department-wide decision and the stated reason: the alleged break-in raised concerns about evidence handling. The accounts do not provide additional details about who carried out the alleged break-in, what specific items were affected, or whether any criminal charges are filed. The reports also do not include findings from an investigation at the time of publication, but they indicate that the department’s response is immediate and comprehensive.
