(<em>Photo: WSFA<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>State and federal investigators are looking into an illegal gun mill operation that was orchestrated by several current and former employees of the Selma Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the cooperation of Selma Police Chief Spencer Collier, the Alabama Attorney General\u2019s Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms are conducting a joint investigation of current and former employees of the Selma Police Department,\u201d said Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall in <a href=\"https:\/\/ago.state.al.us\/News-1078\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"selma-police-employees-investigation-stealing-guns\" title=\"Selma Police Employees Under Investigation for Running Gun Mill Operation\">a recent statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, police discovered 200 firearms in a storage locker belonging to an evidence technician, identified as 34-year-old Adrianne Michelle Canterbury, and her husband, 43-year-old Richard Canterbury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we found there was probably the largest stash of guns from a criminal perspective. It was a little overwhelming to see that amount,\u201d Chief Collier told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.selmatimesjournal.com\/2017\/05\/12\/more-details-emerge-in-stolen-evidence-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"selma-police-employees-investigation-stealing-guns\" title=\"Selma Police Employees Under Investigation for Running Gun Mill Operation\">Selma-Times Journal<\/a>. \u201cThere may be others that weren\u2019t [taken from evidence] but we\u2019re trying to work that. The bulk were taken out of the evidence room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adrianne is the suspected thief in the operation, her husband acted as a gunsmith, fixing the stolen firearms, and a third individual, 32-year-old Candice Ledbetter Byrum, listed them for sale online. All three are now facing criminal charges. Adrianne\u2019s supervisor at the department, who has yet to be identified, was terminated. It\u2019s not clear if that individual was involved in the operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there was ever a picture-perfect conspiracy case, this is it,\u201d said Collier in a press conference last month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf [Alabama] had a racketeering statute, this would probably fit it. This is a criminal conspiracy, and more importantly, it\u2019s a criminal organization that has carried out putting guns on the street.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At least one of the firearms is connected to a homicide. Back in April, 19-year-old Ratravious Sanders<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsfa.com\/story\/35169707\/dallas-county-teen-shot-to-death-with-malfunctioning-gun-on-day-of-prom\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"selma-police-employees-investigation-stealing-guns\" title=\"Selma Police Employees Under Investigation for Running Gun Mill Operation\"> was playing with a handgun<\/a> he had obtained from Canterbury. The teen was in a car with three friends. The gun discharged and the projectile hit his friend, 19-year-old Rufus Williams, in the back killing him.<\/p>\n<p>The joint investigation will involve an audit of the books, which according to Chief Collier haven\u2019t been reviewed in 17 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The joint investigation will include an audit of the police department&#8217;s evidence room in the wake of recent reports of missing items from the department&#8217;s vault,\u201d said Marshall. I appreciate the assistance of Chief Collier who has provided complete access to the department&#8217;s records as we conduct our joint investigation into possible corruption and missing evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State and federal investigators are looking into an illegal gun mill operation that was orchestrated by several current and former employees of the Selma Police Department. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":74641,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,216],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-74639","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Selma Police Employees Under Investigation for Running Gun Mill Operation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"State and federal investigators are looking into an illegal gun mill operation that was orchestrated by employees of the Selma Police Department.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/selma-police-employees-investigation-stealing-guns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Selma Police Employees Under Investigation for Running Gun Mill Operation\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"State and federal investigators are looking into an illegal gun mill operation that was orchestrated by several current and former employees of the Selma Police Department.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/selma-police-employees-investigation-stealing-guns\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-06-08T15:08:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-21T00:38:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/13640598_G.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"338\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
