Officer Ravell Slayton Arrested for Theft & Misconduct
A Memphis police officer who was arrested on theft and misconduct charges turned in his badge Friday.
Ravell Slayton, 36, had been placed on paid leave Thursday, along with another officer who was arrested in a separate investigation.
That officer, Lt. Billy Smallwood, 45, remains with the police department pending an administrative hearing.
Slayton quit before his administrative hearing, which had been scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday.
He is believed to have participated with his brother and another man in a stolen-property scheme.
Acting on a tip, undercover officers sold Slayton three 52-inch TVs he believed were stolen, police said.
He also told investigators he sat in uniform in a marked squad car outside a house where his brother sold drugs more than 50 times.
A Shelby County grand jury indicted Slayton on two counts of official misconduct, one count of theft and another count of attempted theft. If convicted of all charges, he could face up to two years in prison.
A federal grand jury charged Smallwood with using a fake identity to access Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and FBI databases, then selling personal information to a third party.
He's charged with three counts of wire fraud, one count of creating a false document in a matter within FBI jurisdiction and another count of computer fraud.
