Berry, Blair and Nolan were employees of the Memphis Police Department but have since resigned. Berry, Blair and Dillard were taken into custody. Harvey remains at large. The rest, per their attorney, plan to turn themselves in to the Shelby County Jail.
The investigation began in June 2020 at the request of 30th District Attorney General Amy Weirich, who recused herself from the case and 13th District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway was appointed to take it.
Adams, Nolan and Berry were indicted for bribery of a public servant, official misconduct and violation of a computer act over $10,000.
Blair and Dillard were indicted for violation of a computer act over $10,000. Lewis and Sajid were indicted for bribery of a public servant.
Harvey and Neglia were indicted for bribery of a public servant and violation of computer act over $10,000.
TBI said that the case “remains an active and ongoing investigation” and “more indictments are expected.”

The Memphis slip and fall boys are going to have to do their own work–I would love to know what type of info were they collecting, for what reason and how they profited. How many verdicts will be throw out?? How will it effect the public?? How will it effect the the Victim?? Gee wiz you can’t trust a Lawyer. Oh Yeah you really can’t. Remember this when you elect a lawyer to any office–even Judge–most are cut from the same cloth–they want to win no matter what or how!!
