KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City police officer has been charged with felony stealing by deceit after he allegedly was paid for off-duty security shifts that he didn’t work. Jackson County prosecutors announced Friday that 38-year-old Brandon Dean Sherman was paid more than $5,000 to work security at an east Kansas City business in January and February. Prosecutors say video surveillance showed Sherman was not at the business at the times he was supposed to be working. The police department initiated the investigation after receiving a tip. The department said Friday that Sherman has been relieved of his duties. He was issued a summons to appear in court on March 23.
