A Sacramento Police officer is facing felony charges of grand theft for refusing to return $20,000 to a friend. Apparently a friend asked Officer Sean Lewis to hold onto $50,000 so she could commit fraud against the welfare department, by claiming she was broke. But the next day, the 40 year old woman changed her mind and asked for the money back.
Officer Lewis became greedy and decided to tell her that the authorities had confiscated $20,000, but actually kept the money for himself. She then reported the incident to the departments internal affairs unit.
Officer Lewis has been a patrol officer since 1999, but resigned before the arrest, according to a statement issued by the Sacramento Police Department.
The missing $20,000 has not been found.
