How a troubled Michigan cop moved from department to department, leaving scandal in his wake

through the years, plenty of police departments were willing to hire officer Mark Aldrich. But today, not many were eager to explain why.

During a tumultuous career in law enforcement spanning four departments, Aldrich would be accused of dishonesty, road rage, engaging in sex acts with a woman he’d arrested and destroying evidence.

How a troubled Michigan cop moved from department to department, leaving scandal in his wake

As an officer with Belleville Police, records show Aldrich obtained a vehicle from a towing company to give to a “needy family.” Instead of donating the car, according to police records, the vehicle showed up on eBay.

Aldrich said he sold the vehicle “for extra income,” according to a police memo. He would later claim to 7 Action News that the vehicle was always intended for his own use.

There were other controversies in Belleville, according to police memos, and before long, Aldrich wore out his welcome. He was asked to resign, according to then-Chief Hal Berriman.

Aldrich did. After turning in his badge, he started looking for his next one.

According to Everette Robbins, the chief in Huron Township, Aldrich came “highly recommended.” Robbins said there was no mention of past misconduct in Belleville. He was hired in Huron Township in 2015.

care. Or that is what they wanted .. who knows. they aren't talking.
