BRUSLY, LA
A man who spent the last several years serving and protecting south Louisiana communities now finds himself on the other side of the law.
The police chief in Brusly says this case surprised and sickened him all at the same time.
Officer Robert Williams is accused of stepping over the line to line his pockets, according to the chief.
Williams allegedly pulled a man over Thursday and while checking him found $2900 in one pocket and around $40 in another.
Detectives say Williams decided to help himself to the $2900. They say the money didn't make it to the police station, until it mysteriously showed up after people started asking questions.
Chief Jamie Whaley plans to return the money to the man. He says the man had just left a construction job and that's probably why he had so much cash on him.
Officer Williams has been suspended while the investigation into the matter continues.
