A former Liberty, Texas police officer was charged on Monday with abuse of official capacity, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.
Phillip Fairchild, 56, was accused of using the police department’s database to run illegal background checks for local businesses for pay, according to a source.
He charged $50 per background check, and investigators have documented at least 79 background checks that he completed for pay, but there may be more, a source told KPRC 2. This allegedly took place from Nov. 24, 2020 through May 25, 2023. The Liberty Police Department requested for the DPS Texas Rangers to arrest Fairchild after an investigation that began in June 2023.Copyright 2023 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.Cynthia Miranda graduated from UT Austin and is a proud Houstonian.
