A former North Vernon police detective was arrested Monday, accused of stealing items from the evidence room and faking doctor’s reports.

43-year-old Brandy Blevins is facing preliminary charges of official misconduct, forgery and theft in the investigation going back to last winter.

Indiana State Police are reporting that troopers were called in to investigate in February after an internal audit revealed discrepancies between the property stored in the evidence room and what was supposed to be there. Blevins is accused of taking unidentified items from the evidence room.

Police also say that Blevins allegedly altered medical records from Schneck Medical Center during an internal investigation in December, and submitted those to the police department.

Blevins resigned from the police department in February. A warrant was issued for her arrest yesterday and she was taken into custody without incident says Sgt. Stephen Wheeles, spokesman for the state police.
