"Cop suspended, charged after raiding refrigerator."
DEER PARK, Texas A sting operation by a suburban Houston police department netted one of their own when surveillance cameras caught an officer repeatedly stealing colleagues' food and drinks from the refrigerator in the station's break room.
Deer Park police Officer Kevin Yang was charged with misdemeanor theft and suspended for 30 days without pay. Deer Park Police Chief Greg Griggs tells KTRK-TV of Houston that a class C misdemeanor conviction would not keep Yang from returning to duty.
Yang tells KTRK that he was merely taking it upon himself to keep the shared refrigerator clean.
I'm guessing that the Deer Park police had to film this and charge the guy because it would be difficult to discipline him otherwise, since Yang is presumably a union employee.
