A former Oil City police officer is accused of possessing a stolen laptop computer he recovered during a burglary investigation in February.
Noah Laughlin, 23, was booked this week into Caddo Correctional Center, according to the Caddo sheriff's office.
When the computer malfunctioned, deputies say, Laughlin asked a fellow officer to repair it. The colleague became suspicious, checked a criminal database and determined the computer had been stolen, authorities said.
Laughlin resigned from the department in June and moved to Sulphur.
Whats failed to be realized is that even officers are innocent until proven guilty... And in this case laughlin was not guilty of theft, but just a case of poor judgement on his part regarding prcedure of reporting a stolen laptop. All charges were aquitted and dismissed. Laughlin was never charged with any charges whatsoever. ;-)
