Former Anderson Police Officer Ty'Ray Wilson Charged With Cocaine Distribution, Resigns

Ty'Ray Wilson, a former Anderson police officer, resigned on the same day he was arrested and charged with federally distributing cocaine and using a firearm during drug transactions. The charges stem from an FBI-led investigation that included controlled purchases of cocaine from Wilson by a confidential informant who had previously used cocaine with him and was aware of his drug distribution activities. Video evidence reportedly shows Wilson with a semi-automatic handgun during drug deals, and his police cruiser was seen parked at his residence during these transactions. Wilson allegedly coordinated with an accomplice, Duncan Harmon, who is also facing the same federal charges for assisting in the cocaine distribution scheme. The investigation revealed Wilson's prior disciplinary issues, including suspensions related to operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Authorities have emphasized their commitment to holding Wilson accountable, and the investigation remains ongoing.
