[VIDEO] Police Officer Arrested For Stealing Gas To Fill Up Wife’s BMW


Dumbass_CopEmil Lugo, a 16-year veteran of the Miami-Dade, Florida, Police Department has been arrested and charged with one count of fraud and five counts of petty theft after he was caught on surveillance video stealing gasoline.

The video footage released by police shows Lugo stealing gas from a county site intended for police cruisers only, and then filling up his wife’s BMW. Officers are allowed to fill their squad cars for free, but this perk doesn’t come with a friends and family discount.

Police began investigating Lugo, when they realized that he was using too much fuel.

Lugo was arrested Friday and has since posted his $10,000 bond. He has since been relieved of duty with pay but will soon be converted to without pay, according to police.



“Anytime one of our officers tarnishes the badge we will hold them accountable to the law, in order to not jeopardize that trust,” said Miami-Dade Police Director J.D. Patterson.

County tax payers are just as disappointed with Lugo’s actions. “That’s bad. That’s really bad,” said one man.

Another tax payer sees Lugo as someone who’s not protecting the law but going against it.



“He’s totally taking advantage of the system. That’s totally wrong. If somebody steals from my job, I would call them a thief too,” said a woman.

Records show Lugo earned $130,000 last year so why the hell would he need to steal gasoline? People commit career suicide for the dumbest reasons.
