* It was announced on June 13, 2012, that a criminal investigation had been launched against the Winnsboro Police Department by the FBI. As a result, the Wood County District Attorney suspended prosecution of all cases from that department. The investigation into the police department centered on allegations that two officers planted drugs on people, then arrested them on drug charges. A civil lawsuit was filed by Jason Brummell, who said officers planted drugs in his vehicle during a 2008 traffic stop. Brummell filed the lawsuit in 2009 against the city of Winnsboro, the Winnsboro police chief, and three officers. Dustin Swann, also of Pittsburg, filed a similar suit. Both lawsuits have since been settled by the city. In addition to these allegations, there have been four separate civil suits dating back to 2008 detailing similar complaints - that Winnsboro officers falsified reports. According to a statement, Police Chief J.L Miller said he stood by his officers 100%. Additionally, Mayor Carolyn Jones, speaking on behalf of the city council, said they supported the department as well.
