CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Police sergeant or popcorn thief?



OREGON (WITI) -- A police sergeant in Oregon finds himself on the wrong side of the law. He was found guilty of stealing popcorn from a convenience store.

He is seen on a surveillance camera buying one bag of popcorn at a store. But then on another camera you see he walks out with 2 bags.

The store says this isn't the first time, and that he has done this before.

The sergeant entered a not guilty plea in court to the charges -- but again, he was found guilty in court.

"This is somebody with a lot of experience, and a lot of time on, and I'm sure that over the course of his career, he's done hundreds, if not thousands, of good things for people, but he won't be remembered for those, he'll be remembered for these silly incidents" said Toledo Police Sergeant, Joe Heffernan.

He has been put on suspension from the department pending an internal investigation.
