Bucks County officer charged with felony wiretaps
A Lower Makefield Township police officer is facing serious criminal charges for secretly recording colleagues at the station. Kenneth Stinson, 52, of Bristol Township, was charged Friday with sixteen counts of intercepting communications, along with additional counts of disclosure and criminal use of a communication facility. Authorities say Stinson recorded at least 13 fellow officers without their knowledge, with some recordings spanning several years — one lasting over 90 minutes. The investigation began in spring within the Lower Makefield Township Police Department and later involved Bucks County detectives. A forensic search of Stinson’s phone reportedly revealed numerous recordings. Stinson, who has served with Lower Makefield PD since 2007 and previously worked for the Philadelphia Police Department, has been placed on administrative leave. He was arraigned Friday and released on $10,000 unsecured bail.
