ALTUS, Okla_ Bail was set Friday for two Altus
police officers who were arrested after an investigation into stolen property.
Court records
show the FBI used an Altus
police detective to help with the sting that caught Russell Hansel and Jose Arce. Back in October, the detective sold the two
officers several tools that he said had been stolen from construction sites in
another state. Then just last week, the detective approached Hansel about some
guns that had been seized by Altus
police. Investigators say Hansel said he could find a buyer in Southeast Oklahoma, where illegal aliens could buy guns.
Thursday, Hansel
took one of those guns out of the police department, and that's when he was
arrested. Hansel told police he only took the guns, because he suspected the
detective was doing something illegal, and planned to turn him in to the
sheriff.
