DALLAS (September 25, 2009)—Charges have been dropped against a former Central Texas police officer who was jailed earlier this month in Dallas, but prosecutors Friday wouldn’t say why.

The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that three charges against former Little River police officer Michael Meissner were dropped, but would not comment on why.

On Sept. 14, Meissner was arrested in Arlington as part of an investigation in Combine, southeast of Dallas.

KTVT in Dallas reported that Combine investigators accused Meissner of paying a blogger to launch cyber-attacks against some of the city's officers using information from a restricted law enforcement computer network.

Meissner was jailed in lieu of bonds totaling more than $1,500,000 on charges including engaging in organized criminal activity, misuse of official information, obstruction of retaliation.

Meissner has worked for 18 different police departments since 1989, according to Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education records.

Meissner resigned from his post as an officer in Little River Academy on Aug. 20 after several complaints were filed against him.
