MOBILE, AL. A former Mobile Police Sergeant who was fired recently for tampering with evidence and impeding a criminal investigation will not get his job back after appealing his firing.
Sgt. Gary C. Rogers is accused of going to the scene of an accident on November 23, 2024, where his 17-year-old was involved after a neighbor contacted him about the accident and he drove to the scene and removing evidence while impeding the investigation of the fatality accident.
Rogers appealed his termination and appeared at a personnel board hearing saying that he did not break departmental policy.
However, the neighbor of Roger’s, Wesley Russell testified that the former police officer and his wife removed several items from the vehicle that their son had been operating including a jacket.
The Mobile County Personnel Board has determined that Rogers was guilty of the charges and has upheld his termination in a September 9th order.
Police determined that the teen was under the influence of alcohol and speeding on Lott Road when he crossed the center line and hit McDavid.
The criminal case is no longer public record, indicating he was granted youthful offender status.
Rogers had been an officer with the mobile Police Department since 2004.
