DEER PARK, Texas (AP) - 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.
Yang tells KTRK that he was merely taking it upon himself to keep the shared refrigerator clean.
