quote:

A Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office deputy has been arrested and accused of stealing cash from a lost wallet that had been turned in by a resident, authorities said.


quote:

Authorities realized some of the cash was missing when Vappie logged the wallet into the property and evidence department, Rivarde said. The Sheriff's Office did not reveal how it knew the exact contents of the wallet.

The department immediately opened an investigation and determined that Vappie has taken the missing money, authorities said. He was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna where he was being held without bond on Tuesday.

Vappie was also fired from the department. He had been with the Sheriff's Office since April 2019, Rivarde said.


Hmm. Citizen calls dispatch, "yeah, I found a wallet, $500 was in it".

Owner calls dispatch "Yeah, I lost my wallet, $500 in it"

Officer turns in wallet, $100 cash in it.

Only thing I can think of.

Meanwhile, nonviolent offenders are being let out all over the country with no bond due to corona.

Some IA guys will put a wallet with cash and/or some other valuable item in a location and call in a "found property" to test officers.

They usually only do that if they have a prior suspicion on the guy though. Too time consuming to just go around baiting random officers.

The lack of information in the story leads me to believe that is what happened here. The whole "random citizen" finds wallet with wad of cash and calls police thing is BS. If I did find that wallet, I would just Google the owner by Driver's License info and call him direct.
