PINEVILLE, Mo.
A southwest Missouri police officer is charged with stealing a motorist's laptop computer during a traffic stop.
Southwest City officer Andrew Cummings of Anderson is free on $7,500 bond after felony theft charges were filed Tuesday in McDonald County. Authorities say the 25-year-old was working for Pineville police when the alleged theft on July 4, 2007.
Cummings is currently a part-time officer with Southwest City police and a reserve officer with Noel police.
Court documents say Cummings had arrested a woman for suspected DWI when he put her laptop it in his patrol car, later denying that he had it.
This week Cummings left the laptop at the Noel marshal's office to have software installed, and a staffer discovered the computer had been reported stolen.
