Allen County Sheriff Bryan Murphy says the LaHarpe Police Chief is in custody over a theft charge from Texas. Authorities arrested Police Chief
Ashley Wright Tuesday morning along with her husband David, who has a
warrant out of Rule, TX where David was a former police chief. Sheriff
Murphy says Chief Ashley Wright's arrest was because she refused to let
deputies enter their home to execute the warrant against her husband.
David ran from the home but was taken into custody outside.
The
couple lives in the old Laharpe Methodist Episcopal Church, where David
serves as the pastor. Sheriff Murphy says David also faces a local
charge of impersonating an officer for reportedly acting on his wife's
behalf in LaHarpe as well as the theft charge from Texas. Texas
prosecutors charged David in June 2016 after he was dismissed as the
Rule Police Chief. His firing came in October 2015 for improper
investigation involving a boy assaulting his daughter in school.
According to court documents, David refused to turn in his badge and
identification that lead to theft charge. David is being held on no bond
until his extradition hearing.
