The City of Mobile is accusing Biloxi police of using intimidation, fear, fraud and deception to convince homeless people in the Biloxi area to be driven by police vehicle to Mobile, where they are then dropped off near a homeless shelter.
“Based upon what we have ascertained, the Biloxi Police Department, utilizing uniformed police officers and city vehicles, is transporting homeless individuals from Biloxi, MS to Mobile, AL,” Barber wrote. “Furthermore, the techniques utilized to coerce the individuals to travel range from intimidation and fear to fraud and deception.
“During the exchange, the officer, while in uniform and acting under his apparent authority, implies to the homeless individual that they are in violation of one or more criminal statutes,” Barber wrote. “The officer explains the City of Biloxi does not have adequate social services programs to assist the homeless.
During one of the interviews, a homeless person said the Biloxi officer was “bragging to a co-worker he had transported over 50 people to Mobile,” Barber wrote.
