Hanceville Mayor Kenneth Nail had the city’s police chief, jail inmates and city employees to perform work on his house and trailer, according to the indictment against him.

Nail was charged Tuesday with 15 counts of using his office for personal gain.

On Wednesday, the indictment against Nail was filed in Cullman County Circuit Court. His bond was set at $150,000.

Nail allegedly instructed then-Hanceville Police Chief Bob Long to perform work on his house while Long was on duty, according to the indictment. He was also accused of “routinely soliciting” Long for the work.

The mayor allegedly had Joshua Howell, an officer with the Hanceville Police Department who succeeded Long as chief in April, travel to Georgia in a city-owned vehicle to work on a travel trailer owned by the mayor and his wife while Howell was on duty.

Inmates Clint Mooney, Anthony Perkins and Bradford Seth Burney allegedly worked on Nail’s home while they were in custody.

Nail also allegedly had Perkins work on a home owned by Madison Brooke Lee.

Lee was not further identified in the indictment, but an address for Lee listed in the charges matched that of a realtor with the same name.

The Cullman Times reported in August 2022 that a Madison Lee was appointed to the Hanceville Industrial Board.

An attorney for Nail could not immediately be reached for comment on the charges.
