The Eufaula Police Department arrested and charged one of their own on Monday. According to EPD Chief Jim West, Lt. Steven Hanners, who joined the force in 1998, has been charged with a Class B felony for theft of property.
West said the investigation continues and additional charges could be filed. “We are currently examining all of Lt. Hanners’ case files and paperwork.”
According to West, Hanners has been the Eufaula Police Department supervisor over Special Operations and the SWAT team.
“The public trusts us and we are going to be worthy of that trust. We will be spotless” West said. “This must not taint the reputation of other officers or the department.”
Eufaula Mayor Jay Jaxon echoed those sentiments. “I hate that this has happened. I see that the chief was on top of this and has acted on his concerns.”
