“The acting police chief and two officers in a rural California town were removed from duty after being arrested on suspicion of selling or giving away the impounded cars of poor residents, authorities said. The former police chief also was taken into custody Tuesday in the scheme in King City, an agricultural town of 13,000 people about 150 miles southeast of San Francisco. Prosecutors said an undetermined number of vehicles were sold or given away for free when the owners couldn’t pay fees to reclaim them. Investigators said the scheme focused on poor Hispanic residents. In some cases, authorities said, officers simply kept the cars for their own use.”
