KANSAS CITY —A suspended Kansas City Police Department officer has been charged with felony Stealing By Deceit for failing to work off-duty shifts he was paid to work, according to Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker.
Brandon D. Sherman, 39, faces a charge of Stealing By Deceit.
According to court records filed Friday, a witness reported to the Kansas City Police Department that security shifts at a business in the 3100 block of Prospect Avenue were not covered.
Further checks showed the company reported paying more than $5,000 to the defendant for security shifts in January and February. But video surveillance showed he was not at the store for those shifts.
The Kansas City, Missouri Police Department initiated this investigation, which was pursued and handled by KCPD's economic crimes unit. The prosecutor's office is grateful for the investigation and cooperation of the KC Police Department regarding this case. The defendant was issued a summons to appear in court.
