FRANKFORT, Ind. (AP) —
Authorities say a central Indiana police officer faces charges that he stole
nearly $150,000 from a company that he worked for part time.
State police investigators
arrested Frankfort police Lt. Randy Emery at his home Tuesday on a felony
charge of theft.
State police Sgt. Kim Riley
says the investigation found that Emery stole at least $147,000 from Good Oil
Co., which had hired him to transport cash from a gas station near Frankfort to
a bank.
Riley says the money had
been taken from the Winamac-based company since last summer.
Frankfort Police Chief Troy
Bacon says the city's Board of Public Works and Safety will soon review Emery's
status.
Emery has been released on
bail from the Clinton County Jail. It wasn't immediately clear whether he had
an attorney.
