On Tuesday, a former Alabama State Trooper surrendered to law enforcement officials in connection with prostitution-related charges, as reported by WAAY 31. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) announced that Paul Richey, who previously held the position of Senior Trooper, was taken into custody at the Limestone County Jail. He faces charges that include solicitation of prostitution and computer tampering.
These allegations arise from a collaborative investigation being carried out by ALEA alongside the State Bureau of Investigation. Following the emergence of these charges, Richey has resigned from his position at ALEA and is no longer affiliated with the agency. Authorities have indicated that the investigation remains active and ongoing, suggesting that further developments may arise as the inquiry progresses.
