SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — A
Shreveport Police officer has been fired for violating department policies.
Chief Willie Shaw fired
28-year-old Ryan Robinson after a pre-disciplinary conference held Monday.
KSLA-TV reports Robinson
was arrested May 4 for misdemeanor theft and malfeasance in office for
allegedly stealing property during the execution of a search warrant.
Robinson was accused of
stealing a ceremonial American flag during a search warrant executed by the
joint Caddo-Shreveport Narcotics Task Force at a home in Vivian back in August
2010.
Shreveport Police later
recovered the flag and turned it over to sheriff's investigators.
