FOLEY, Ala. A man once part of the local criminal justice system in Baldwin County is now part of the county jail population.
Foley Police received a complaint from a child’s parents about a man, later identified as Joseph Bischoff, who was once a city magistrate, trading vapes for pictures of girls.
Right now, police say that they know of at least one incident of him trading vapes for pictures, but are continuing to investigate.
Bischoff is only charged with selling and providing controlled substances to a minor, but there may be other victims and other charges at a later time.
His bond hearing was held on Saturday, where a judge set Bischoff’s bond at $100,000.
