An Alabama police officer who was taken off duty after a murder conviction will continue to receive a paycheck from the city of Huntsville, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.
Following his conviction by a Madison County jury, Darby went on leave Monday from the desk duty he was assigned to after the incident. He will continue to receive pay while out on $100,000 bond.
"This is the normal process until formal proceedings under the City of Huntsville's personnel policies and procedures are complete," Huntsville city spokeswoman Lucy DeButy said, according to the AP.
