On Thursday, the South Boston Police Department issued a statement in response to allegations that have been made on social media against the department. According to the statement, the allegations involve a member of the South Boston Police Department.

The allegations involve an incident that occurred in November 2022. The department says that the matter was independently investigated by Virginia State Police.

In the statement, the South Boston Police Department says that the proper procedures were followed. Virginia State Police reportedly conducted a thorough investigation, but due to a lack of evidence and unsuccessful follow-up attempts with the person who filed the complaint, the allegations were ultimately determined to be unsubstantiated.
