Wow. It's quite obvious from the testimony in the article that he intended to keep the gun, but brought it back when he realized they would notice. Very foolish.
Are we allowed to talk about this on the INGO?
Is it possible someone in his position could be so foolish? Was there maybe some other reason to risk your job, and honor?Then why just take one? I mean, that's what I would first assume as well but apparently there's some electronic evidence that he actually did research the sights and replacements. It's so dumb. I'll repeat myself: I can't even.

Blue label Glocks are cheap, no reason to steal one.One of my all time favorite movies! The sarcasm could cut steel.
I'm not sure if this guy wanted to swap the night sights onto his Glock and return the evidence gun with his old sights.....
or straight up stole it, but then got cold feet, but I know you can't take something from a store to "examine" it for a week and then bring it back, without either charging it and doing a refund....
or facing charges.

Probably watching Matlock instead...Well of course....
Better yet, trade it with some street punk who is a sometimes informant for another gun so that in case the "drop gun" is tied to a perp you busted and took it off of, there won't be a trail to you.
I mean....have these people never seen a single episode of "The Shield"?
That's what it appears to be. He took the gun to either identify the sights or figure out how they were installed so he could do the same thing to his gun, and then returned the "secretely borrowed" gun once he did that. Unaltered and allegedly unfired. I just can't even...
He wasn't rescuing perfectly good sights from certain death in a scrapyard, so I think we're a go on this one.Are we allowed to talk about this on the INGO?
I couldn't, either, but on second thought: if you can't afford a set of night sights on a detective salary, I suppose you can't afford one of those quietly-operating-but-outrageously-overpriced Glock Sight-Pusher thingies, either.
Sometimes, you just gotta go hammer the shxt outta something on your home workbench.
That why I think maybe there is something more to this than what he said.I could even sort of understand that as a standard "nobody will miss it" theft...but he returned it unaltered and unfired supposedly. Unaltered would mean he didn't take the sights off and swap them. Just...look at them? I mean, did he look at them in different lighting conditions and against different color backgrounds? Did he research some part number? WITAF was his throught process, as I'm not just morbidly curious about his mindset. I am still stuck at: I can't even.
Did I miss how many years he has as an officer and detective at ISP?
