A former Hurricane Police Department evidence technician has pleaded guilty in connection to allegations that he sold police evidence through his daughter’s online store.

Kurt Tanner, 55, of St. George, pleaded guilty as charged Tuesday in 5th District Court to one count of third-degree felony misuse of public money.

The plea was held in abeyance, meaning the case will be dismissed if Tanner does not commit any new crimes, completes 100 hours of community service and pays more than $1,200 in restitution.

Charges state that Tanner in 2016 gave the evidence items to a company owned by his daughter to be sold on eBay.
