Cop gives himself a bonus and a pink slip

Posted on December 7, 2006 5:43 PM
Somewhere around Pontiac, MI, Craig Cejmer (don't ask, I haven't a clue on how to pronounce it) decided that his duties on the Sheriff's Alcohol Enforcement Team merited a little spiff...
Prosecutors said Cejmer pulled over the motorist on suspicion of drunken driving. Cejmer started searching the motorist, removing large amounts of money from his pockets, Assistant Prosecutor Paul Walton said Monday.

Police say after the man passed a preliminary breath test, Cejmer returned some of the money and let him go. The victim later realized he was missing $1,700. He went directly to Pontiac Police, who put him in contact with the Sheriff's Office, which began an internal investigation.
Craig's lawyer said the money just fell between the seats, and that he brought it to his supervisors before he was asked about it anyway. They fired him after an investigation.

I'm sure this happens to people all the time. You're collecting money from your friends for a beer run, everyone's just tossing cash at you, $1,700 happens to fall between the seats on the way to pick up the keg. Totally understandable.
