INDIANAPOLIS – An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) officer has been charged in connection with a marijuana grow following an investigation.
On December 27, 2021, IMPD officers were sent to the 2900 block of S. Pasadena Street in reference to a disturbance. When police discovered that one of the involved parties was a current off-duty IMPD officer, detectives from IMPD’s Special Investigation Unit were brought to the scene. The findings of the investigation were sent to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office for a charging decision.
On Tuesday, March 22, the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office filed charges on Christina Slack for possession of marijuana, growing or cultivating marijuana and possession of marijuana.
Slack is a 22-year veteran of IMPD and was most recently assigned to the North District. She’ll be suspended pending recommendation of termination to the Civilian Police Merit Board.
“Learning that one of IMPD’s officers was charged is never something I want to hear. These charges are certainly a disappointment for me and the entire department,” said IMPD Chief Randal Taylor. “At the same time, I appreciate for the work of detectives within the department who investigated this incident to the fullest,” he added.
