When one drug deal fell through, the former chief gave a DEA informant cornhole bags to make up for the 'bad business,' according to an affidavit.
Drug Enforcement Administration investigators said they used an informant to collect evidence against Denning. The informant had prior convictions and faced potential federal drug charges in an unrelated investigation and cooperated with the DEA in hopes of receiving a more lenient sentence,
In Nov. 2021, Denning connected the informant with a cocaine dealer. The informant ultimately purchased a quarter ounce of cocaine for $450, which he sent the dealer via Venmo. The cocaine was sent to the informant via mail. When the package was delayed at one point, Denning checked on its status for the informant. From May to July 2022, Denning connected the informant to suppliers for other drugs such as Adderall and ecstasy, and helped look into any delays or hang ups the informant ran into when purchasing from the dealers. At one point, Denning sent a photo of a menu of drugs a dealer he knew offered.
