Your Af?ant learned the following information from the parents of JUVENILE (pseudonym given to victim) at the Whataburger in Venus, Texas. The parents stated JUVENILE had been in contact through the use of cell phones and personal interaction with the City of Maypearl Police Chief Kevin M. COFFEY from the age of fourteen to the age of sixteen (present age). The parents said JUVENILE informed them that she felt Chief COFFEY was messaging and saying inappropriate things to her, and she felt his end goal was to have sex with her. The parents stated Chief COFFEY drove to Abilene, Texas, to get cell phone from another person?s impounded vehicle without their consent or a search warrant to search the cell phone. They advised Chief COFFEY kept the cell phone and would not return it. Chief COFFEY requested the password from the parents. Chief COFFEY informed them he connected cell phone to his computer in an attempt to obtain information from it. When Chief COFFEY did return the cell phone, it was disabled and they had to buy a new cell phone. On 07-08-2015, your AFFIANT attended a forensic interview of JUVENILE at the Gingerbread House in Waxahachie, Texas, and learned the following. JUVENILE stated Chief COFFEY contacted her on Facebook when she was fourteen years old. JUVENILE said while she was up at City Hall, Chief COFFEY told her, ?Just so you know, your ass is getting bigger.? JUVENILE continued to say that Chief COFFEY showed her the police of?ces, his of?ce, and gave her permission to view police records and any other thing she wanted to view inside the police department of?ces. JUVENILE stated that Chief COFFEY allowed her to view ?les, citations, and patrol vehicle in-car video of of?cers? traf?c stops. JUVENILE said Chief COFFEY has made sexual comments about her body to her in person like ?Your ass is getting big,? would like to smack your ass,? ?You have a nice body,? ?You have nice boobs, and ?You have a pretty smile.? JUVENILE stated that Chief COFFEY has said these comments to her many times, and the last time was a few months prior to this date. JUVENILE stated that Chief COFFEY would send her Snapchat photographs of him holding handcuffs with a caption of, ?One of the days, hahaha.? JUVENILE stated around New Years 2015, Chief COFFEY will ?ash the lights of his Maypearl patrol vehicle at her window late at night to get her to come outside to see him. JUVENILE said Chief COFFEY brought her a meal from Whataburger one night and allowed her to sit in his patrol unit and operated the lights, computer, camera, laser, and weapons. JUVENILE stated that Chief COFFEY Page 2- of would come by her house in his patrol vehicle and his personal vehicle. JUVENILE stated the she used to use marijuana, and Chief COFFEY would enjoy seeing her stoned. JUVENILE said Chief COFFEY would ask her to come to his of?ce late at night around 2:00 AM or 3 :00 AM. 1.) JUVENILE stated she gave Chief COFFEY her cell phone to hold so her parents would not get it. Chief COFFEY advised her he was not going to return it due to him searching it for information. In.) JUVENILE said Chief COFFEY drove to Abilene and got her cell phone out of a vehicle impound, and kept the cell phone to search it. JUVENILE stated that Chief COFFEY informed her he attempted to use his Apple ID to get into the phone, but did not succeed and disabled her phone. JUVENILE stated that Chief COFFEY messages her almost daily, and he messages through Facebook and text messaging application comments like, ?Are you mad at me,? ?Are you around,? and ?Let me come see you.? 0.) JUVENILE said that Chief COFFEY is very touchy when he is around her, and he has asked her to hang out with him since she was fourteen. JUVENILE said if she told Chief COFFEY she was leaving town, he would be waiting on her to leave town. JUVENILE stated that during these encounters Chief COFFEY would inform her he was going to search her car and so he could with fuck her. JUVENILE stated that Chief COFFEY would rub her arm from elbow to shoulder, and run his hand through her hair and ?ip it around. JUVENILE said Chief COFFEY is currently talking to five other juvenile females. JUVENILE stated that one of the females was getting stopped by Chief COFFEY like she was, another juvenile female has asked her for Chief number to call him because she keeps forgetting it, and she had seen cell phone messages between one and Chief COFFEY. JUVENILE stated that Chief COFFEY would monitor her Facebook so he could come find her and mess with her. 5.) JUVENILE said that Chief COFFEY sits outside her house and waits for her to leave so he can stop her. JUVENILE stated that she and her parents have kept this quiet because they are scared Chief COFFEY would retaliate against them or their business in town. 11.) JUVENILE said Chief COFFEY took photographs of her in his patrol car when he brought Whataburger to her at her house, and she requested those from him at a later time and he informed her he would have to get them off of his laptop. JUVENILE stated Chief COFFEY took those photographs using his Apple Iphone. JUVENILE stated that she felt Chief COFFEY was waiting until she was seventeen to try to have sex with her. JUVENILE said that Chief COFFEY would private message her on Facebook. JUVENILE stated Chief messages have progressively gotten worse since he started messaging her since she was fourteen. JUVENILE stated that her parents, boyfriend, and a co-worker had observed the text messages she received from Chief COFFEY. Your Afflant obtained two cell phones from JUVENILE and had them forensically examined at the Navarro County Sheriffs Office by a certi?ed exaiminer. Your Affiant learned the following from the information received. aa.)Your Af?ant observed Facebook Messenger messages between Chief COFFEY and JUVENILE that corroborate the outcry made by JUVENILE. Some of the messages from Chief COFFEY were of a possible sexual nature such as, ?I?ll cuff and put 11 on the hood again and smack that ass 101.? In another message Chief COFFEY sent a photograph of a remote location, that said, ?Had a nice spot Page of picked out to stop you and everything 101.? It is my belief that a search of Chief residence and of?ce at the Maypearl City Hall, will provide further evidence of Of?cial Oppression, Misuse of Of?cial Information, Online Solicitation of a Minor. Stalking, Harassment, and Tampering with Evidence, and can show communications between the suspects and other victims.
