Ex-wife: Police officer joined KKK undercover

(AP) — The ex-wife of a police officer who left the department after a report tied him to the Ku Klux Klan told investigators that the couple joined the group as part of an undercover operation, according to a report released Tuesday by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Ann Hunnewell said she and her ex-husband, George Hunnewell, joined the KKK in 2008 at the request of then-Police Chief Mark Isom. She said they were trying to find out if another officer was a KKK member.

No one answered the phone at numbers listed for Isom. The officer Hunnewell said she and her ex-husband were investigating later resigned.
