The Southside Messenger reported that Lunenberg officials are tight-lipped concerning the investigation of a Victoria Police Department employee conducted by the Virginia State Police. When asked about the investigation, Victoria Police Chief Brian Baird told The Southside Messenger, “I’m not commenting on that at all” and that it is a “personnel issue.” Corinne Geller, public relations director for the Virginia State Police, responded to The Southside Messenger’s information requests, saying, “I can confirm that the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Appomattox Field Office is conducting an investigation into a criminal allegation involving a sworn employee of the Town of Victoria Police Department. Because the investigation is ongoing at this time and no charges have been placed, I am unable to comment any further.”
