CMPD officer charged with stealing $900 from man he was arresting

[@nancyenkelmann4552]

Does anyone believe this is the first time this shady cop has done this. It's the first time he got caught.

[@michaelbrownlee4857]

he wouldn't of even been caught here if it wasn't for his facial expression acting guilty, the way the suspect spoke about it and being so fortunate the other male officer that was present allowed him to look in the vehicle for a second and it was right there in the door the other male officer probably only did this because he didn't think the cop took it and was trying to prove that 9/10 times even if this exact situation was played over he the officer would have got away with it because there is no way they would start investigating the arresting officer so very unlikely it is his first time and even here he almost got away with it

[@rico-outdoors970]

NOPE

[@jameshall915]

We Love cops who hold other cops accountable.

[@k.b2457]

they didnt the guy they arrested had to plead with them

They didn't have any choice.. they were all on camera and had to... but if there were no cameras around he would not have been held accountable at all

[@billanderson3192]

You're right, because it rarely happens!

[@Johndoe-kw5zr]

They didn’t want to, they were arguing with the detainee even after it was obvious he stole

[@Robyn-by6qt]

Begrudgingly

[@casey4602]

Chapman should be charged with tampering with evidence and making false statements to police.

[@jimthomas1989]

He was allowed to RESIGN ! That means he wasn't Fired . That means he can get rehired at ANY other Police or Sheriff office and this will NOT be on his records file . 😂 These P1GS take care of each other to the bitter end. American citizens are their Target ! The LAW get 40% percent of their pay check from Tax payers The other 60% percent is from speeding tickets, drug busts, DUI/ DWI stops and WARRENTS Does it make sense why they always want your I.D. now ?

[@rosiehellraiser5066]

If there was no camera that mans' money would not be accounted for.

[@KK-fi6ms]

Yup. And Chapman would probably have retaliated by doing something horrible to keep him quiet.

[@darnellhall8173]

What a low life police officer 😢

[@vmlenigma]

there are many of those #LMPD is one of those departments full of them

[@jamiehardcastle4999]

Typical police officer

so many of them are... my neighbor was a cop and he was fired recently for major criminal activity but never charged... but they didn't charge him with all the criminal activity but rather just fired him and told him to move on

[@millionmasso]

Bean stealing for years ,only finally got caught

[@AquariusQueen3]

Big Facts! I said that.

[@SweetJustice11]

True

[@TL2354]

Been

[@millionmasso]

@@TL2354 lol ,it was a typo

[@JeffBourke]

Yes and he will be sentenced as a “first time offender”. Absolute joke!!!!

[@Pussy-k4v]

Yep, sounds right, i have seen sooooooooo many dirty cops that I realized that they are just a another mafia extortion racket.

[@misty28882]

He's been stealing for YEARS!! THEY NEED TO REOPEN ALL MISSING ITEMS CASES WITH HIM

[@mamagstmlok3895]

The man in the red outfit was his own investigator. If he didnt stay on it, stood his ground, and demanded that chapman the thief and the side of his door be searched, chapman the thief would have gotten away with theft!

[@Ezinma88]

Just one question... did the reporter actually watch the body camera footage? If so, she'd know that it wasn't a fellow officer confronting Chapman that led to the truth. It was the victim, a man in handcuffs btw, who kept insisting that Chapman had stolen his money that exposed the crime. None of the officers believed him at first. Pretty disgusting all around.

[@bensantellano]

She did not, lol

[@MonkHoward]

This was 3 months ago. the bodycam was video was just released the other day.

[@marwinreeves164]

You could tell by his body language that he was hiding something when he got addressed by the young man in custody. Very sad.

[@k.b2457]

he stole JUST under the felony amount. This wasn't his first time stealing. Mr. Moon handled this perfectly!

[@zutrue]

He admits to "taking" the money but not attempting to steal it??? Please! He STOLE it when he TOOK it.

[@RaphaelAshanti]

Translation: I stole the money but wasn't intending to steal it.

[@StevenE-l9y]

RIght. If you take something that's not yours, that's stealing. I'm scared to ask how long has this guy has been a cop.

[@KB-ld6ql]

Well all right then. Here's your job back with 3 weeks paid vacation. Sorry to have bothered you with this frivolous allegation. I mean you stole it with no intention on keeping it. You simply were going to spend it. Right??????

[@RaphaelAshanti]

@@KB-ld6ql Hilarious!

[@Streetz989ATLTV]

He's been stealing and commiting crimes 😢

[@Rosanesh12538]

He did this many times before

[@Visiontech]

Is anyone really surprised?

[@nancyenkelmann4552]

Not in the least, Dirty cops everywhere

[@josephcross2240]

This is why America is in the shape its in

[@christopherbasham1551]

Poor guy, he only made 95K per year.

[@kharris0465]

Officer Chapman, " The state police do it!"

[@jbonniebanks]

I watched the CMPD KZbin videos. That guy was so polite idk how he maintained his cool but that gave him credibility with the other officers i think

[@Mike-gc9ih]

Why wasn't he also charged with having a weapon during the commission of a felony???

[@KyleHilton-qh6nr]

Apparently $900 is just shy of a felony.

[@thinktank4768]

Police caught red handed. Let justice reign!

[@rickysmithist]

Taking the money, but not intending to steal it that makes zero sense

[@commentedrelationship]

LOL that was laughable... was he planning to just hold the $900 for a little longer before giving it back?

Ill have to remember that next time I get pulled over... Yes I was driving fast but I didn't intend to speed

[@jaywholoveseveryone1721]

🤣

[@emerymitchell844]

YES THEY NEED TO REOPEN ALL CASES

[@Dennis-gy7xr]

I’m glad because this teaches cops that 60,000 isn’t a lot of money and there is still crooked cops on the force. These are people the academy hire

[@MM-pi1cb]

He couldn’t just work OT

[@agent8699]

he quit after being charged.

[@KB-ld6ql]

Should be charged with theft. Period.

[@QBama100]

Both heard the rubber band popped? Who was the other that heard it

[@CleanHead]

LOL Admitting to taking the money, but not intending to steal it. WHA??

[@jeffreyconyers-z3r]

Body cam does convict cops' folks. Many agree this isn't his first time stealing.

[@elduderino1809]

another bad cop coming to a town near you

[@craigklein5563]

Imagine how many times this has happened before he finally got caught?

[@andrewambriz6784]

He should be sent to prison for a minimum of 20 years and have all his social security voided

[@Hellabagz408]

wtf lol

[@kimaletta8943]

Also tampering with evidence!

[@KB-ld6ql]

While armed and being the arresting officer to boot. No biggie eh??

[@bigmotoxer]

👇Will anything happen to him? Anything over $200 is Grand theft but will he get charged with a felony and will he lose his job? I doubt it

[@jaywholoveseveryone1721]

YES. He was charged with embezzlement, a felony in NC. In NC, grand theft & embezzlement are the same.

[@billanderson3192]

He took the money, but didn't plan on stealing it. He must have learned this from the people he's arrested over the years! The boys on the yard will be waiting for officer Chapman!! And he's going to get a kick out of them!

[@ireneevans5174]

Nothing new as far as I'm concerned... Just got caught😂

[@kevindevilliers3572]

He should be fired. Full stop. I saw the video. He is 100% guilty.

[@D3LAWAR302]

We had a neighborhood officer when we were growing up before body cams who would always mess with the neighborhood kids and take our weed, money, alcohol and tell us to get lost lucky I don’t arrest you… we were just happy to not be arrested. Now that I’m older I know he was going out of his way to steal. Later he was fired for falling asleep at the wheel while under the influence and asking another cop help him destroy the footage. He used to beat his wife too. He used the hell out of that badge

[@press1500]

i took the money but I didn't intend to steal it???? bruh please, back the blue

[@moralesgto]

When I was 15-16 walking home from school in Chicago couple times I was searched basically robbed from CPD

[@cj822]

I need to see the court hearing

[@lentilsmith8474]

Justice Served 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@ 1:25 He admitted to taking the money but not intending to steal it... and watch the judge toss it out because there was no "intent"

[@KB-ld6ql]

Rumor has it that he's already applied for a pardon.

@@KB-ld6ql as corrupt as the entire police forces these days he will probably get the pardon and get his job back... never any accountability with crooked cops..

[@anthonyesparsen7776]

Omg ! Caught red handed !?

[@DirtyHarry137]

wtf is take the money and not stealing it, great offices dont know what is stealing mean

[@AM-lk7nj]

All of us are one decision away from ruining our lives and our families life.

[@E3-TV]

00:52.. This media coverage is a lie. The officer did not see the other officer steal anything. In fact, one officer even said so in the body cam. And i quote, "We didn't see what you saw!". The officers in fact didn't even believe the man, and he had to beg and plead for the officers to do their jobs. Then when they caught the initial officer stealing, they didn't arrest him right then and there. He got treated like a colleague instead of a criminal.

[@Erika-EJ]

I would be so embarrassed 😂

[@Wisdom2812]

I'm suyre the abuse of power and theft on police departments is horrific.

[@anthonyesparsen7776]

Yea ref ight he was borrowing it

[@JonJonUCan21992]

Terrible!!

[@Transforming2024]

This is why he became a cop.

[@verjanhamilton6287]

He should have to pay damages and do an apology letter.

[@crysandcharles]

The $900 also had Moon’s receipt for the Wendy’s he just bought! Good job Moon! 👏👏👏# imstillteamacab #tilallcopsarefoundaccountable

[@Ilfenomeno-sp2hk]

I feel bad for the victim to have had to have gone through this… But seeing how smart, mature, and how keen he is, it’s as if he was chosen to finally take this Corrupt Cop down

[@Zap-Zap-666]

0:54 no baby not both it was only Mr Moon who saw that the other cops were in disbelief at first

[@outlawaz1266]

Definitely not his first rodeo

[@AkosiMRswabe]

I'm sure it's not just the first time.

[@Tommybrazzile]

The officer didn't read his fortune cookies cause if he did it would had told him crooked cop who steal money will get caught

[@yoyo8303]

How long has he been doing that? I suppose since his 1st day on the job.

[@Lou_Snuts]

Police departments allow this type of behavior because each dirty cop is expected to "kick up" a piece of what the get from stealing and shakedown to their superiors. Next, investigate the bosses to see if they got a piece of this guy's and other department LEOs takes.

[@Cappadonna72]

"Both of then heard a rubber band snap" is a lie. I saw the video, so if the other officer is saying they heard the rubber band snap, they are either lying in the report, or lied on the scene to the theft victim.

[@christopherespinosa7319]

Stealing is stealing .. I wonder if it was his 1st time ? Or 1st time caught in the act..?

[@berserkergames113]

he might be fired from his department but he can most definitely still apply for other departments and how fucked up police is he will be rehired in a neighboring department

[@angelaburgess9105]

I'm confused about the embezzlement part

[@BobBobby-s3k]

That's cool and all but how long the prison sentence?

[@dwightdorn8253]

Crooked cop ! Trying to steal right in front of the man! Admitted he took it but wasn’t going to steal it! lol! How many times has he done this too!

[@PhyllisMolini]

all on video

[@MissyGirl5150]

Yeah he did! And got straight caught in front of all the other cops! Jerk

[@ISOkeem13]

It’s funny how she is trying to make it as if the cops were just doing it on their own…. They didn’t confront him and they were also reluctant to believe the guy. Anyone who watched the full body cam video knows it didn’t go the way they are trying to portray it to the public. The guy basically had to twist their arms to make them search him on the spot

[@Scott-up3bq]

[@KyleHilton-qh6nr]

It's actually a miracle that the other officer agreed to search the thief's vehicle and found the money. He very nearly got away with it, as I'm sure he has in the past many times.

[@murphymurph7578]

Every one of his cases should be under review.

[@ToboeKey309]

This is why i never carry cash its not the 1990s anymore 🙄 n also when u carry any amount of cash the cops or sheriffs automatically thinks its drug money 🤦‍♂️

[@thebolb]

So that makes it perfectly within their right to confiscate his money.... 🫠
