Dallas Officer Fired

A Dallas police officer was fired today, two months after being accused of demanding money from a woman in exchange for not reporting gambling violations.

Senior Cpl. Minh Tran, 54, was arrested May 21 and has been indicted on a bribery charge.

Chief David Kunkle fired him for engaging in adverse conduct and failing to cooperate with an internal investigation, according to a news release.

Cpl. Tran is accused of receiving money from the woman on at least three occasions. His arrest came after a sting conducted by Dallas police.

He had worked for the agency since 2001.
