The four-month Indiana State Police investigation began when the allegations were made against former Chief William “Bill” Abbott, and current Captain Carl Lamb. Both were incarcerated at the Jackson County Jail. Detectives determined that both suspects had been using department time while working outside jobs, ISP Sgt. Stephen Wheeles said. Abbott and Lamb have been on administrative leave from the Seymour Police Department during the investigation into their alleged double dipping, according to the report.
A special prosecutor was assigned the case. According to Wheeles: "Abbott was employed by Schneck Medical Center to schedule off duty officers to provide security at the hospital. The investigation indicated that he allegedly performed his duties for Schneck Medical Center while he was also working in his official capacity with the Seymour Police Department. While on duty as a member of the Seymour Police Department, Lamb allegedly worked outside employment for K4 Security out of Jeffersonville, Indiana. K4 Security had a contract to provide off duty police officers for work in the construction zone on I-65. Lamb coordinated and scheduled off duty Seymour Police Officers to work the security job while he was on duty with the Seymour Police Department. He was paid by K4 Security for those hours while also being paid by the Seymour Police Department. Lamb also was a part-owner and employee of BSafe Tactical, Seymour, Indiana. BSafe provided training to area schools, churches, and businesses. The investigation determined that Lamb allegedly worked for BSafe Tactical and received payment while also on duty in his official capacity with the Seymour Police Department." |
