Policeman Charged for Handling 50K Worth of Stolen Jewelry

Earlier this month, Los Angeles firefighter, Gilbert Lightburn Junior, was remanded to prison until October thirtieth after an altercation at Shisha Nightclub resulted in him stabbing three people. Lightburn claimed that he was acting out of self-defense and that he had been robbed that night of his phone and other valuables. Acting upon information received on September ninth, police launched an investigation into forty-three-year-old police officer Hersel Garcia. Hersel was captured on surveillance footage attempting to pawn two fourteen-karat Miami Cuban link chains valued at thirty and twenty thousand dollars, as well as a seven thousand, five-hundred-dollar American Buffalo Indian Head Coin cased in fourteen-karat gold. Garcia was formally charged on September fourteenth with handling stolen goods.
