Former Minn. Police Officer Charged in Rash of Thefts

The best thing for those who are sickened by this will be his conviction.

He might have been framed. Somebody could have planted the International Harvester tractor, complete with front loader in his yard.

I don't believe it this guy is totally being railroaded. It has to be the farm gnomes planing this to frame him since he must have been on to them.

He worked for the "Thief River Falls Police Department" ..... he was doomed on the first day.

Ah yes, the vile little farm gnomes are behind this. Their trickery knows no end and is second only to the roaming gnomes.

Officers actually became physically ill? Must have been something in the food...

Time to talk to this officer's former employers about history with them and why he left those departments. I hope it wasn't because of clouds of suspicion. If so, that's another problem.

LOL....
I have to agree with you. I got a little chuckle when I read he worked for the "thief river falls" police. It's kind of ironic when you read the story.
Anyway....I wonder....is it just me, or is anyone else bothered by the fact that they put guys like this on "PAID" leave while they do their investigations. I mean, the person has ripped the public off enough already, and now he's being paid to be out of work for committing crimes.
I say, put him on UNPAID leave. Then, when the investigation is over, IF he is found innocent, pay him whatever back pay is owed. It's just always seemed odd to me to pay someone while they are being investigated for screwing up.
