A sting operation by a suburban Houston police department netted one of
their own when surveillance cameras caught an officer repeatedly
stealing colleagues' food and drinks from the refrigerator in the
station's break room.
Deer Park police Officer Kevin Yang was charged
with misdemeanor theft and suspended for 30 days without pay. Deer Park
Police Chief Greg Griggs tells KTRK-TV of Houston that a class C
misdemeanor conviction would not keep Yang from returning to duty.
Griggs
says he authorized the video sting because the thefts have been going
on for too long. Even though the items being stolen may be of trivial
value, Griggs says theft is theft.
