WILMINGTON — A former Wilmington Police detective has been fined in connection with dereliction of duty.

Joshua Riley, 48, pleaded guilty to one charge of dereliction of duty on Thursday in Clinton County Municipal Court. Riley was fined $750 and must pay an additional $135 in court costs.

Riley resigned this past April after being under investigation for alleged misconduct in the police department.

In a letter dated April 7 to Police Chief Ron Cravens and copied to Mayor John Stanforth, Chief Detective Riley wrote, “I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign from the City of Wilmington Police Department effective April 10, 2020.

“I intend to retire from service as a police officer. I am grateful for the opportunity to have honorably served the people of Wilmington these past years,” the letter concluded.

The News Journal reported in late 2018 that several WPD officers were under investigation for alleged misconduct and were placed on administrative leave. Eventually officers Jerry Popp and Anthony Mitchell would resign from the WPD with no known admissions of wrongdoing by either of them nor any charges or claims filed against those officers.
