Michael McCarthy is facing a felony charge of
embezzlement.
A Providence police officer was
expected in a courtroom Thursday but his case has been continued until March
11.
Michael McCarthy, a 36-year
veteran, is facing a felony charge of embezzlement, for allegedly stealing an
item from an evidence locker.
NBC 10 first reported about the
charges against McCarthy when he was arraigned in October.
McCarthy was one of two
officers with a key to the evidence locker.
An investigation was launched
when an item due to be returned to its owner went missing.
McCarthy was suspended with
pay.
