Theft Charges Dropped Against Police Officer

(Pembroke Pines, FL) -- Charges are being dropped against a Pembroke Pines police officer who said he was under the influence of pain medication when he robbed a jewelry store. Kevin Burgs had been charged with grand theft after prosecutors say he took a watch two years ago from a Jared jewelry store. Surveillance video shows Burgs swiping the 800-dollar watch during a burglary investigation. Prosecutors now say Burgs was under the influence of pain medication after dental surgery and could "not fully comprehend his actions." It's not clear what will happen with his job now that the grand theft charges have been tossed out. Let’s hope they protect the public from employing this thief!
