Fired Caldwell Police Lt. Joey Hoadley — who was found guilty of three federal crimes after an FBI probe — wants the charges against him acquitted or retried.

After a six-day trial, a 12-person jury convicted Hoadley of destruction, alteration or falsification of records in a federal investigation; tampering with a witness by harassment; and tampering with documents, however, he was acquitted of the charge that involved an allegation that he struck a Caldwell man while arresting him in 2017 — a focal point of the FBI’s investigation.

The Idaho Statesman reports that in a motion filed Friday, Hoadley’s attorney Charles Peterson, argued that the two charges are “factually connected.”

Federal prosecutors will likely respond with an objection to the motion, and a judge will decide which side has merit.
