In charges filed Sunday, New Chicago Police Chief Earl D. Mayo is accused of stealing guns confiscated in town police investigations and selling them to a Hobart pawn shop as well as possessing anabolic steroids.
Tanika Roshawn Borders, 47, also faces charges for allegedly assisting Mayo.
Mayo, 45, of Merrillville, faces seven felonies including two theft counts, two official misconduct counts, one attempted obstruction of justice count and two counts of unlawful possession of anabolic steroids. He also faces a misdemeanor theft count.
Lake County Prosecutor’s office spokesperson Myrna Maldonado said Mayo was still housed in the Clark County Jail in Springfield, Ohio on Sunday. Authorities arrested him Friday in Clark County. No time was announced for his return to Lake County.
Mayo is the son of Indiana State Police Major Jerry Williams, the Democratic nominee for Lake County Sheriff.
The charges stem from an investigation by Lake County police that began in late April and continued into May.
The alleged thefts came to light after police tracked a firearms trace from a deputy prosecutor for a Ruger C3 9mm handgun. Police said it had been seized as evidence by New Chicago police in a pending criminal case.
The trace showed the gun had been sold April 29 at Mega Cash Pawn, 1035 37th Ave. in Hobart. Police learned Mayo sold the firearm and he was also the arresting officer in the case.
