Former Alabama Trooper Pleads to Ethics Violation
BAY MINETTE, Ala. (AP) - A former state trooper has pleaded guilty to violating the state ethics law by using a state credit card to buy gas for his personal use. Attorney General Luther Strange said 48-year-old Jonathan Dees of Spanish Fort entered the plea Thursday in Baldwin County. Dees previously worked at the Mobile office of the state Department of Public Safety. He was given a suspended sentence of five years and ordered to serve six months of supervised probation. He has already repaid $2,204 for purchases between July 2009 and January 2011. Strange called it a sad example of someone betraying the trust of the taxpayers and his fellow law enforcement officers. He said court documents included video evidence of Dees purchasing gas. (Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
