A Michigan police officer who was fired from his job after Confederate and Ku Klux Klan memorabilia were found in his home told investigators that he had the racist items because he’s a collector and a “Dukes of Hazzard” superfan.
The revelation was made public on Monday when authorities in Muskegon released hundreds of pages of documents related to their investigation into fired officer Charles Anderson.
The report includes interviews with Anderson, who repeatedly told investigators that a Confederate flag and other Confederate-themed items in his house were an homage to the “Dukes of Hazzard.”
“I have a very, very large collection of the ‘Dukes of Hazzard.’ I have gone to their meets. They call it a Duke’s Fest. It’s where you go down south and you meet in a state and all ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ fans get together … ” Anderson told a detective when asked about a Confederate placemat and a Confederate flag in his house.
