Wonder if this will help Dan Moore? Note that these LEO's were not custodially arrested or even released on a bond like anyone else would be for felonies; rather they were released on their own recognizance.

A grand jury today indicted two police officers and a former officer, said Police Chief Bruce P. Marquis.
Charges against the officers include procuring false testimony, filing false police reports, obstructing justice and perjury, though none of them faces all those charges.
The charges related to incidents in June 2007 and October 2008.
Former police officer Gregory W. Dudley, 24, of Virginia Beach, was charged with procuring another to give false testimony, a felony; and making a false report to police, a misdemeanor, both for incidents that happened on Oct. 12. The indictments say he induced another to give false testimony under oath and that he gave a false report to a law enforcement official about the commission of a crime.
Robert A. Jacobs, 28, was charged with one count of obstruction of justice, a misdemeanor. The indictment says he made a false statement to a law enforcement officer on Sept. 17, while the officer was investigating a crime committed by someone else.
Andrew T. Wenzel, 29, of Chesapeake, was charged with two counts of felony perjury; and making a false report to police, a misdemeanor. The indictments say Wenzel gave false testimony while under oath in Norfolk General District Court in September 2007, and again in April in Norfolk Circuit Court.
Jacobs and Wenzel, who were hired in August 2005, were relieved of duty this morning and are on paid suspension, Marquis said. Dudley was an officer for two years and resigned Oct. 31.
All three turned themselves in and were released on personal recognizance bonds.
Other serious allegations are under legal review, Marquis said.
“We are held to a higher standard,” Marquis said. “Acts such as this can do harm to our police department."
