Nice guy - Police Chief steals Firefighters Beer
What a maroon!
From the
Reno Gazette-Journal:
Kansas police chief fired for stealing beer
A small-town police chief has been fired after he was convicted of stealing beer from the fire department�s refrigerator.
The city council in Wilson on Monday fired chief Brian Hill, effective Jan. 25. He has the option of a hearing within the next two weeks.
Hill was arrested Aug. 1 after a surveillance tape showed him taking the beer. He was convicted of misdemeanor theft on Dec. 26 and given probation. He had been suspended without pay pending an appeal of the conviction.
That is just low. If he remains in Wilson, his reputation and goodwill are shot. Stealing a person's beer is not a big crime but it is one that people will long remember.
That it was the Firefighters makes it even worse -- if it was a fellow police officer's stash in the duty-room fridge, that would have been grounds for a good calling out but to steal from another agency is not cool -- especially one in just as dangerous (if not more so) an occupation...
