The family of a constable in Marion County is blaming her attorney for a new felony she is charged with after she was arrested for illegally carrying a handgun while facing a felony charge in two other cases.
Denise Hatch stood up in a yellow jail jumpsuit and chanted, “Free Denise. Free Denise”, in a court hearing on Tuesday.
Those supporting Hatch say that her attorney gave her incorrect advice about whether she could or couldn’t carry a handgun.
Hatch is facing a felony charge for official misconduct in an altercation at a Kroger in August.
She’s accused of trying to use her position to try and exchange rotten vegetables without paying.
