Fullmore, who plans to run for mayor of Pearson, was arrested for allegedly breaking into the Pearson Police Department in an attempt to remove alleged incriminating documents from his personnel file. Fullmore is himself a law enforcement officer who has worked for several different agencies.
Fullmore was charged with making false statements, burglary, and theft by taking. DouglasNow is gathering more information and will update this story as it develops.
