CLEWISTON, FLA---A sergeant with the Clewiston Police Department in Hendry County has been charged with selling drugs within 1,000 feet of a school while on duty.

Sgt. Brian K. Kniceley, 42, was arrested following a joint undercover investigation conducting by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Hendry County Sheriff's Office. Kniceley is charged with two counts of official misconduct, one count of unlawful compensation or reward for official behavior, and two counts of sale of marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school.

The four-month investigation began in December 2005. FDLE special agents uncovered that Kniceley was using police databases to gather criminal information and other personal information on persons and then allegedly supplying the information to known contacts in exchange for money. An undercover police officer made contact with Kniceley and during a conversation, Kniceley allegedly told the undercover officer that he could get information for him. In March, Kniceley again met with the undercover officer and provided him with criminal and personal information allegedly gathered from police databases. Kniceley also told the undercover officer it would be easy to find the person with the information he had given him. For the information, Kniceley accepted $100. Agents say Kniceley was in uniform and on duty at the time of the exchange.

FDLE agents said Kniceley continued contact with the undercover officer and told him he could get him some marijuana. In April, Kniceley allegedly contacted the undercover officer twice and told him to come to his home in Clewiston to purchase the marijuana he had discussed. On both occasions Kniceley received money in exchange for the marijuana. During one of the transactions agents say Kniceley was in his police uniform and on duty.

The investigation was concluded with assistance from the Clewiston Police Department and their officers assisted in the arrest of Kniceley. He was booked into the Hendry County Jail. 5-07-06
