A Shreveport police officer was arrested today on charges he falsely reported an ATV stolen in order to collect insurance on it.
Officer Justin White was suspended from the Police Department after Caddo sheriff's detectives obtained a warrant charging him with felony theft.
Caddo sheriff's detectives said White's four-wheeler blew the motor. Rather than pay to have it fixed, White had a friend get rid of it, then reported it stolen and collected $7,012 in insurance, detectives said.
The four-wheeler was found in Bossier City. Investigators said White's friend swapped it for repair work on his truck.
The friend faces fraud charges, authorities said. He had not been arrested late this afternoon.
