(USA) Dothan police captain lost job over association with an outlaw motorcycle gxxg

DOTHAN, Alabama -- A Dothan police captain was terminated after the department learned he was a known associate of an outlaw motorcycle gang.

The Dothan Eagle is reporting former captain Keith Gray’s name surfaced as part of an assault investigation involving the Outcast motorcycle club.

Dothan Police Chief Gregory Benton testified at an appeal hearing of Gray’s termination that an internal inquiry was started out of a concern of the criminal activity in the gang, the newspaper reported.

The former captain who worked for the department for nearly 30 years is not accused of criminal activity.

Gray is contesting his termination and in his hearing Tuesday said he didn’t think about the motorcycle group being involved in criminal activity. He wasn’t at the club house when an assault occurred there that sparked the police investigation.

Dothan officials also said Gray’s grounds for termination also included the viewing of a pornographic website with his work cell phone and using departmental computer programs for personal use.
