From AL.com:

Two Huntsville police officers were indicted Friday for allegedly tampering with evidence, falsifying reports and attempting to possess drugs, the department announced Tuesday.

Deputy Chief Andy Jackson said the charges stemmed from an internal investigation into alleged policy violations.

Officers Wesley Little and Ryan Moore of the north precinct were arrested and booked in the Madison County metro jail. They have since been released on bond.

Little was charged with attempting to possess a controlled substance, possession of a firearm with an altered serial number, tampering with physical evidence and false reporting to law enforcement authorities.

Moore was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and two counts of attempt to possess a controlled substance.

…

Public Safety Director Rex Reynolds said in a statement that the investigation “did not reveal any evidence that existing cases made by either officer were tainted by illegal planting of evidence.”

For some reason I don’t think Reynolds’ statement alone is going to be enough to convince defense attorneys that their client’s cases shouldn’t be reexamined.

Kudos to the officers who turned in their (allegedly) corrupt partners.
