Corporal Randy Braaksma Accused of Keeping Cash & Seized Drugs

Vancouver Police chief Cliff Cook has fired an officer accused of keeping cash and drugs seized from suspects.

Corporal Randy Braaksma was terminated Wednesday after a year-long investigation into mishandled evidence.

The Vancouver Columbian reports a lawyer for Braaksma says the firing is retaliation for his speaking out in a discrimination case. Braaksma has filed a claim against the city, intending to sue.
