A former Rome police officer who resigned in lieu of termination attempted to steal $20 from a crime scene, investigation documents indicated.
Keith Green appealed his termination from the department and during the investigative process requested that he be allowed to resume his job as a police officer or be allowed to resign in lieu of termination.
Green and other officers were at a suicide scene on Dec. 30, 2009, when other officers noticed $20 was missing, according to the investigation report.
Green put the money in his pocket and later put it back on a table at the scene after being questioned by another officer, the report indicated.
He initially told investigators he took the money to make sure it was secure but later described the incident as a “mistake” and said if the other officers had not noticed the missing $20 he may have kept it.
