Bad Cop: Pittsburgh Police Officer Arrested, Charged With Shoplifting At Theme Park




A Pittsburgh police officer is facing shoplifting charges after Orlando police said he took more than $300 in merchandise from Universal Studios in Florida. Apparently hes a HUGE Harry Potter fan too.


Quote from the article:
Officer Henry Rogowski, 49, was arrested Sunday after a loss prevention officer spotted him allegedly putting items from a Harry Potter gift shop into a plastic bag and leaving the store without paying.

"It gives our department a black eye. Anytime we see an officer, especially one of our officers act in this manner, it's very troublesome and it's very embarrassing," said Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper.

According to the arrest affidavit, the loss prevention officer saw Rogowski take two Gryffindor photo albums and put them inside the bag while inside Filch’s Emporium, a gift shop at the Harry Potter section of the theme park.
