Former Morrison police officer pleads not guilty

A former Morrison police officer pleaded not guilty Thursday morning to charges of theft, attempt to influence a public servant, embezzlement and forgery.
Anthony Joiner, 38, was indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury in July on 29 counts. He is accused of stealing more than $132,000 from the town of Morrison between December 2010 and February 2016 through a private fund he created called the “5280 Police Motors Memorial Fund,” according to a news release from the Jeffco District Attorney’s office.
Joiner returns to court for a Dec. 7 pre-trial motions hearing, and Hall said this would be Joiner’s last opportunity to work out a plea bargain should he choose to.

Pre-trial motions hearing continued for former Morrison officer
The motions hearing has been continued in the case of a former Morrison police officer arrested in connection with theft, attempt to influence a public servant, embezzlement and forgery.
Anthony Paul Joiner, 38, will return to court Monday for a pre-trial motions hearing, though there were talks of a plea deal in court on Thursday.
Although Judge Dennis Hall said in October he wouldn’t accept a plea bargain past Joiner’s Dec. 7 court date, he reversed this after the prosecution and defense detailed a lengthy back-and-forth discussion of negotiations.
Joiner is required to return to court at 8 a.m. Monday as a condition of his bond. At this time, his defense team will either move forward with the pre-trial motions hearing or accept a plea deal.
