Trooper David Volz Arrested for Stealing Mulch


State police say a trooper has been charged with stealing truckloads of mulch from a central New York business.

They say 28-year-old David Volz of Oriskany was arrested Thursday morning after investigators found that he used a borrowed dump truck to take mulch from Mohawk Valley Mulch Inc. in Rome without paying for it.

Trooper Jack Keller says the business owner noticed someone on his property late Wednesday night and called Rome police, who handed Volz over to state police.

He has been charged with petit larceny and ticketed for traffic violations involving the truck.

Keller says Volz joined the state police in May 2006 and now faces internal disciplinary charges. His phone number isn't listed and police didn't know if he has a lawyer.
