From the local talking heads:
A Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officer was arrested after he allegedly stole property from a subject he was arresting on Thursday afternoon.
CMPD said the officer, Henry Chapman, was conducting the arrest in the University City Division.
Detectives later arrested Chapman and charged him with one count of embezzlement.
CMPD is conducting an internal investigation and has placed Chapman on unpaid administrative leave.
Chapman has been with the department since September 2009 and is assigned to the University City Division.
“This is deeply disappointing for our organization,” CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings said in a statement. “We hold ourselves to the highest standards, and a violation of that trust is a serious offense. However, I want to assure the public that we take all allegations seriously, and we will not tolerate misconduct within our ranks...no CMPD employee is above the law.”
Chapman was a member of the University City Division and has worked for the department for 14 years.
Cedars Take: Something else is going on here. There has to be more to this, so at this point CP is withholding judgement until the facts shake out.
What’s wrong with his eye? Obviously his brain wasn’t working correctly when he took that money.
ReplyDeleteEmbezzlement? So he pocketed the thug's drug money and they are going to throw him under the bus? There as Cedar says must be more to this. Inflation is hurting all of us but this ain't right must be more to the story.
ReplyDeleteLombardo had a bad eye too. It’s their PTSD or alcohol doing that crap. Blame it on the alcohol.
ReplyDeleteHey he took a chance and lost. We don't need guys like that end of story.
ReplyDeleteUniversity has been shady for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI spoke to a veteran Army guy at a bar that works by their office. He said they just stand in the parking lot and do nothing while there are homeless creeping around there area.
ReplyDeleteInteresting considering some in that office are veterans themselves….
DeleteHe said he confronted them about their laziness on display because the bums kept breaking in his business and sleeping around there. The UC cops just stood there and looked at him. Image my brother!
DeleteHe was in the Navy, and then worked for UNCC Police for a short time prior to transferring to CMPD. I’ve always known him as a pretty decent and friendly dude. I shocked when I heard. Not saying he’s innocent, but he felt comfortable enough to get caught once. Its probable he’s done it before. Completely opposite of any experience I’ve ever had with him. I agree, there has to be more to the story. This doesn’t fit with what I know about him.
ReplyDelete900 cash is bold so he has been doing it for while I imagine.
DeleteCops falsify their work hours all the time so how is this any different?
DeleteThe citizen filed a complaint…that’s why.
Look at his eyes. There’s something wrong there.
ReplyDeleteIn other important rumors, we need to find that guy that killed the mother and kids.
ReplyDeletePsycho
Was the mother and kids dead in their apartment the entire time? Sure sounds that way from the news reports…
DeletePlanty has a close ratio slightly better than the Washington Generals. Scum dad will walk, guaranteed.
DeleteFuckin Planty! Sorio would have this guy in prison for 20 years.
DeleteYa ll hire some real winners at cmpd
ReplyDeleteSammy took some steaks
ReplyDeleteBlake Hollar’s kids a drug person
Henry took some money
Who cares?
I’d rather work with a cop that steals than a cop that tries to kill themselves. That happens freq around here.
ReplyDeleteIs it better to steal like HC or lie to coworkers like Harris? Is our IA panel political and tactical in nature?
DeleteWhen did IA start believing thug complaints? Man, cmpd nobody got your back at all.
ReplyDeleteEvery “man” for themselves….. another Monroe legacy…
ReplyDeleteThe wellness divison has a mental giant now. Can’t make this stuff up
ReplyDeleteI know they let us have beards now but some brothers look like young Santa Claus!
ReplyDeleteTimes are tough. Deal with it.
DeleteSimply put a good percentage of officers look worse than the people they are arresting, their beards aren’t even trimmed or shaped and their tats make their arms look like they have gangrene … truly a sad state and ground zero to gain public respect or trust.
DeleteThe fake smiles of cops receiving monthly awards says it all.
DeleteLord…those are horrible pictures
DeleteDon’t write me a ticket if you are fatter or sloppier than me.
ReplyDelete“The main message is: ‘Conflict resolution,’” said CMPD Maj. Torri Tellis. “You got to be able to talk through things if you have an issue with something. Don’t resort to violence by picking up a gun, picking up any sort of weapon.”
ReplyDeleteI love Torri, but learn how to speak my boy.
Well, I stand corrected. Looks like he did do it, and admitted to it. If you research his pedigree, he’s also a lieutenant in the Navy for Antiterrorism Training. I wouldn’t expect it. I still dont understand it.
