Former Officer Calvin Schaffer Remains Free on Fraud Charges

A former Goddard police officer will remain free as he continues to face a federal fraud charge.

The former officer, Calvin Schaffer, 44, entered a not-guilty plea Wednesday in his first court appearance since being charged last month.

Unless Schaffer violates terms of his release, he will remain free. His bond has been set at $10,000.

Authorities have alleged that Schaffer offered to help dismiss a DUI charge against a woman he arrested if she would have sex with him.

Authorities also alleged that while Schaffer was an officer, he used a Goddard police computer to send photos of himself -- nude and seminude -- in e-mails to the woman.

Schaffer is charged with defrauding the Goddard Police Department and the people of Goddard.
