Two police supervisors indicted
Accused of allowing property room thefts

Two veteran Memphis police supervisors were indicted Wednesday on charges
they took more than $148,000 in hush money to keep quiet about property
room thefts. 
The indictments bring to five the number of current or former property room
workers linked to a cocaine ring with ties to North Mississippi and
Atlanta. 
Sixteen people - including alleged drug dealers - were indicted in
September. 
The two-count federal indictment returned late Wednesday afternoon accuses
Jacqueline Layrock, 39, and Alnita Campbell, 42, of conspiring with another
property room supervisor, Kenneth Dansberry, in the thefts. 
The women used the money - drug proceeds and stolen cash - to pay their
bills and car notes, the indictment said. 
Property room supervisor Dansberry, 41, and Carl Edward Johnson, 42, an
inventory clerk, were indicted in September for financial crimes related to
property room thefts. 
A police property room is where drugs, cash and other items seized in
criminal cases are stored, as well as other evidence, like weapons. 
Authorities say drugs and cash from the property room were going out the
back door to drug dealers, one of them a former property room worker living
in Atlanta. 
More than $1 million in cash was confiscated from Dansberry's home and car
in a September raid. Other raids turned up 29 vehicles, jewelry, cash and
mansions.
