While driving back home from a family trip in Branson, Missouri, I passed through the Dallas, Texas suburb of DeSoto on Interstate 35E, where this chilling new report comes from.
The police department is facing a serious predicament with thousands of items, such as firearms and narcotics, missing from their evidence room.
As per a report from CBS News Texas, a previous individual responsible for handling evidence has recently been taken into custody. This occurred approximately two years following the initial report of the disappearance of the items.
Interestingly, this transpired after he had already secured a position as an evidence clerk for a different police department in the bustling Dallas and Fort Worth Metro area.
Following a thorough examination of the DeSoto evidence storage area, an investigator concluded that the former clerk, Carl Edmison, who managed the room for a period of 6 years until 2022, had engaged in multiple inappropriate actions.

Edmison received a flawless letter of recommendation from the DeSoto police, which allowed him to secure a job with the Midlothian Police Department in a similar role.
The DeSoto Police Department had to contact the Midlothian Police Department to share their worries about the audit. However, the officer was not let go until he had been on paid leave for almost a year.
In the spring of 2024, after some time had passed, Edmison found himself under scrutiny once again. This time, he was apprehended for being in possession of objects that had once been stored in the evidence room of the DeSoto Police Department.
