Police Lt. Brian Thomson "resigned" on August 13th after reportedly being caught dipping into drugs in the evidence room at the La Crosse Police Department. He appeared in court on August 14th for a bond hearing, but he has not been in court again. He was supposed to be in the La Crosse County Circuit Court yesterday to face charges following a delay on August 30th. However, if you search for his name on CCAP, you will not find a case for Brian Thomson yet. Charges have now been delayed to October 23rd. According to the La Crosse Tribune, Thomson's attorney cited "medical reasons" for the new delay.
This is not your typical case, for sure, with judges and prosecutors having to bow out due to conflicts caused by their connection to the former policeman. However, to date, Thomson has done a great job avoiding the courtroom, particularly since persons facing felony charges are typically required to be present in person for court hearings, aside from mere status conferences. Maybe he'll be in court on October 23rd(?)
