Officer Robert Gordon and Wife Charged with Stealing from Wal-Mart

A Baltimore police officer and his wife were charged with attempting to steal more than $1,100 worth of items from a Wal-Mart in Owings Mills earlier this week, authorities said today.

Store security guards stopped the officer, Robert H. Gordon, 44, and Daniella Gordon, 40, outside the store after watching them leaving with the items, Baltimore County police said. The couple had purchased about $150 worth of goods — mostly household items such as cleaning supplies, clothing and food — and tried to hide other items beneath the ones they purchased, according to Bill Toohey, a Baltimore County police spokesman.

Store security called county police, who arrested the Baltimore County residents and charged them with theft of goods valued over $500. Both were released on their own recognizance, according to electronic court records. Their trial is scheduled for April 28.

Nicole Monroe, a city police spokeswoman, said Robert Gordon, a 16-year veteran, has been suspended.

Did anyone report the Officer Gordon and his wife were found Not Guilty? Of course not. The media is only interested in negative news stories.
