Former Officer Charged in Connection With Theresa Parker Investigation Richard Simms July 17, 2007 - 5:56PM A former LaFayette, Georgia police officer faces new charges in connection with the Theresa Parker Missing Person Investigation. Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson tells NewsChannel 9 that Harbin (Ben) A. Chaffin has been arrested on three new felony warrants obtained by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Chaffin resigned from the department and was already charged with lying during the investigation in early April. Today Chaffin was taken into custody by the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force in Mobile, Alabama. He was transported to the Metro County Jail, Mobile, Alabama, where he will have an extradition hearing.
He is charged with: -- 1 Count Violation of Oath by Public Officer -- 1 Count Tampering with Evidence -- 1 County Computer Invasion of Privacy

This could be the break. There must have been a very large debt outstanding for someone to throw away a career like that. Perhaps a plea agreement will bring out some answers, unless a possible fraternity bond means more than freedom. Messing with the computer, probably to confuse the timeline was a bad move. These little boxes hide stuff in corners.
I wanted to say that by you folks not letting this be forgotten or put on the back burner may be why it is still considered a hot case. Hats off to you and the best for the family.

Okay, here's a mystery for ya .... Go to this link: www.11alive.com/About the middle of the page, where it says "video now, show me news about", type in "Ben Chaffin". A video page will pop up with different dates. Choose the July 17 video & play it. It will start on the news about Chaffin's arrest. But who in the heck is the man they have pictured as Harbin Ben Chaffin? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ben Chaffin has bonded out on 2,400 bond.
post from WCM
So is that the 10% or was that the whole bond?

Chaffin officially scheduled to be brought back to Lafayette www.timesfreepress.com/absolutenm/templates/local.aspx?articleid=18637&zoneid=77Former LaFayette policeman Harbin "Ben" Chaffin was scheduled to be back in Walker County today to face three felony charges, after his second arrest related to missing Walker County 911 dispatcher Theresa Parker. On Tuesday, Kate Johnson, spokeswoman for the Mobile County Jail, said a time was arranged for Mr. Chaffin to be picked up by Walker County officials. "We can't release the specific time we have arranged just for the safety of the police involved," she said. Mr. Chaffin worked with and was a friend of Sam Parker, who was in the process of divorcing Theresa Parker when she was reported missing March 21. Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said Tuesday that officials have not decided if Mr. Chaffin will stay in the Walker County Jail or be housed in a nearby county. "Probably we won't release that until he is brought back and booked," Sheriff Wilson said. "(Then we will) make the decision about where he will be housed. He may be able to post bond, so it may not require a decision." Mr. Chaffin has been held in Mobile County's Metro Jail since his arrest July 17 at his mother's house in nearby Irvington, Ala., on charges of violating his oath as a law officer, tampering with evidence and computer invasion of privacy. Mr. Chaffin was arrested earlier in April on charges of lying to Georgia Bureau of Investigation officials who were investigating Ms. Parker's disappearance. He was released from jail on $5,000 bond after five days. According to the warrants in his latest arrest, he accessed Mrs. Parker's e-mail account March 17 without her permission "with the intention of examining personal data and financial information" and "without authority." Mr. Chaffin and Sam Parker worked the same shift for the LaFayette Police Department, and both were off duty the evening of March 21, the last night Mrs. Parker was seen.
