The Murfreesboro Police Department arrested Bob Darnold Friday, capping a months-long investigation into alleged misconduct by Darnold and his friend Joey “Slick” Tussell.

Darnold appeared surprised at his arrest, expressing confusion as to how several months of repeated public misconduct had caught the attention of local authorities.

Authorities began investigating Darnold and Tussell in 2014, when Darnold draped a banner outside of his employment that said “Don’t Worry Police. We Aren’t Breaking the Law.” In early 2015, Darnold hung another banner below that reads “No Seriously, Nothing to See Here.”

On Friday, the investigation concluded with the arrest of Darnold and Tussell, ending what law enforcement said was the most flagrant criminal conduct in this county since Tipp DeVeer left behind a signed apology after live tweeting his escape from the Rutherford County Jail in 2013.

“This one wasn’t that hard,” said Detective Jenkins Jones. “My six year old daughter figured this out. My four year old son figured this out. I think my dog could have cracked this case.”

Asked for comment, Darnold remained insistent that he did not know how the allegations came to light.

“We broke the law a few times, sure,” said Darnold. “But when the investigation started, we did all the right things: we lied, we covered up, we even made false statements to the media. I don’t understand how this kind of thing gets us arrested.”

Legal experts noted that the arrest likely stemmed from repeated and obvious misconduct that was committed publicly, without shame, and on a massive scale.
