Next to testify was LaFayette Police Department officer Stacey Meeks.
Meeks recalled a situation that took place between Parker and himself in the office of “Dino” Richardson.
This was during the time Richardson was ill at home, prior to his death.
According to Meeks, Sam Parker (the higher ranking officer at the time) called him into the office to look at the detailed filing system on officers.
Meeks said that both the men looked at their individual files.
Meeks said Parker didn’t want the new chief to see anything that would damage him. Parker said he didn’t want the new chief to judge him based on the files.
According to Meeks, he did not remove anything from his own file, but Parker had removed information from his file.
“I knew it was improper. I looked at my file, but I didn’t take anything out.”
According to Meeks, he later told the new police chief, Tommy Freeman, about the incident, when he was questioned about Parker. “I wanted to tell the truth. They (investigators) wanted facts to his behavior.”
