An internal investigation into theft and misconduct has led to the firing of a Bunnell Police Department captain.
According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Captain Randy Burke was fired after he was accused of stealing $100 meant as a gift for a former officer in 2007.
According to the internal investigation documents, police department employees pooled together $100 and some household items to help out fired officer Ed Culver.
Investigators say because Burke lived next door to Culver, they asked him to present the gifts to Culver.
When the department moved into its new facility, officers told investigators the household items were found in Burke's old office.
Investigators say Burke told them he forgot to give the donations to Culver.
The investigation couldn't confirm Burke stole the money, but concluded he did misappropriate it.
