An Aledo man, who serves as a local law enforcement officer, has been charged with six misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct. The charges against 28-year-old Troy Brock were filed Wednesday in Mercer County Circuit Court. According to a Mercer County Sheriff’s Department press release, on November 23, the sheriff’s office “received a request from the Aledo Police Department to investigate a complaint of possible disorderly conduct that had occurred at Genesis Medical Center Aledo. The Mercer County State’s Attorney’s Office, after reviewing the investigation charged Brock with the six misdemeanor counts.” A first appearance is set for Jan. 3 in Mercer County Circuit Court.
Brock serves as Viola Police Chief.
Viola Village President Mike Lester released a statement to WRMJ Thursday evening. It reads “With this being an active investigation, we will not comment on Chief Brock’s status. If/when a decision needs to be made, we will consult our attorney as to how to proceed. Until that time comes, there will be no comment on this matter.”
