Former Officer Bob Brabo Sentenced for Stealing from Department

A former Craig police officer has been sentenced to 48 hours of community service after pleading guilty to stealing about $500 from the departments drug task force.

Bob Brabo also received a one-year deferred sentence and was ordered to pay $484.50 in fines during a hearing Tuesday. Brabo resigned Nov. 5 and later pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor theft.

The money Brabo pleaded guilty to stealing was taken from drug funds from the department's All Crimes Enforcement Team.

The district attorney's office says Brabo received no special treatment and that his sentence is typical of first-time offenders charged with the same offense.
