That sting was run back in May by Millersville Assistant Police Chief Shawn Taylor and a colorful cast of characters he assembled for the operation.
Among the revelations, the recordings show:
- Taylor did not involve other law enforcement agencies with more experience in such operations because of his unfounded conspiracy theories that prominent state officials are involved in child sex trafficking.
- Members of a private group posed online as minors — despite Millersville police being told by prosecutors that the sting would be legal only if sworn law enforcement officers were the ones doing the work.
- Shawn Taylor told one operative that investigators would be using “pre-signed search warrants,” which would likely be illegal, according to experts.
- Police arrested one suspect then, when he refused to talk to investigators, they turned him over to the private group for questioning.
- A Millersville detective boasted that the suspect was being taken to a jail where it was likely that he might not come out alive.
The whole city government of Millersville, TN is a corrupt as fuck shit show. News channel 5 and specifically Phil Williams have been covering all the goings on for years if anyone wants to do a deep dive. Honestly the right thing to do at this point would be to fire all the commissioners, police, fire, literally everyone and one of the neighboring city’s just absorb the town. Lived there 9 years and it’s nothing but an embarrassment.
