A former Kirksville Police officer has been arrested on multiple sex charges. Kirksville Police say In July of 2022, a report was made to the Kirksville Police Department alleging serious criminal activity by a former officer and City employee during their tenure several years ago. The individual has not been an officer with the Kirksville Police Department since 2013. In an effort to ensure transparency and an unbiased investigation, the Kirksville Police Department requested the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control conduct the investigation in its entirety. Throughout the investigation, the Kirksville Police Department fully cooperated with the Highway Patrol’s investigators and provided them with any and all requested records or information. The Highway Patrol says investigators learned 46-year-old Faren Lindsey, now of Shelbyville, had allegedly sexually assaulted the underage female victim several times over a two-year period beginning in July 1999. On October 25, 2023, an arrest warrant was issued and Faren J. Lindsey was taken into custody by the Highway Patrol. The Highway Patrol says Lindsey was indicted on three counts of statutory sodomy, one count of statutory rape, and one count of forcible rape.
