PENROSE, Colo. (AP) — More pieces of apparent evidence linked to a former Fremont County Sheriff's lieutenant have been found.
The Pueblo Chieftain reports (http://bit.ly/2pPHekI ) Robert Dodd, who resigned from the sheriff's department last month, had already been charged with abuse of public records and two counts of second-degree official misconduct before the recent findings.
The new apparent evidence had been found in a landfill trash bin collected from Dodd's former residence. A worker attempted to call the district attorney's office to report it, but ended up contacting a Pueblo Chieftain reporter, who then went to the landfill.
Among the items found had been a computer, an envelope marked "evidence" that contained a DVD and a videotape labeled as containing a sexual assault investigation interview.
The original charges stem from evidence linked to the 2006 homicide of Candace Hiltz found in one of Dodd's old storage units.
