French policeman steals from dead crash victim, goes to pot |
DRAGUIGNAN, France - A French police officer caught stealing from a dead road crash victim was jailed Monday for growing and selling cannabis, violence and theft.
| Prosecutors at the court in Draguignan, southeastern France, said Eric Desvaux had "tarnished the reputation of a great state body." He was sentenced to nine months in jail, with three months suspended. The 39-year-old, a former European swimming champion, was arrested in May after his girlfriend accused him of stealing a camera from the body of a man who died in a road crash. When police officers searched his home they found the stolen camera -- and a cannabis plantation. |
