Indianapolis —

Update: Fox 59 News received a statement from Chief Paul Cielselski concerning this case.

"Last evening, investigators in the Professional Standards Unit uncovered information that the device found in Deputy Chief Benjamin's desk had inadvertently been left there by an officer who had previously occupied that desk.

The device was very unsophisticated technology, in pieces, requiring a 9 volt battery to operate and was in fact not operable in its current condition.

Everyone familiar with the device knew it was inoperable and of very poor quality when it was reported to me."
