Cop convicted of stealing from a stripper.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A suspended Rhode Island police chief has been found guilty of stealing $714 from a stripper's pocketbook following a police chase in Pawtucket as the remnants of Hurricane Irene hit the region.

A Providence County Superior Court judge on Tuesday convicted North Providence police Col. John Whiting of larceny over $500 and solicitation to receive stolen goods. Prosecutors said Whiting took the money because he was upset and felt disrespected by the occupants of the stripper's SUV, who led him on a chase from North Providence into Pawtucket. A Pawtucket police officer testified Whiting confessed to stealing, and gave him the money with instructions to spend it in Las Vegas. The 58-year-old Whiting denied stealing, saying he seized the money as evidence. His lawyer says he's considering an appeal. Sentencing is scheduled Sept. 14.

He seized it as evidence and then gave it somebody to spend? Yeah, that's way different.

If it was taken as evidence, he was supposed to tag it, record it and put it in the appropriate secure evidence locker.

This was in the Providence area. Any surprise? The home of the New England Mafia and corrupt, mob connected politicians.
