Despicable: Former Texas Cop Accused Of Stealing Money From Dying Man As He Was Suffering Heart Attack!
A former Texas City police officer is accused of taking money from Jim Mabe while he was suffering from a heart attack in his car.
Former officer Linnard Crouch, Jr. resigned from the force earlier this year. However, no criminal charges have yet been filed. Frustrated, the Mabe's family is suing the city and the officer.
"There's more than enough anger to go around, to be honest with you," said son Michael Mabe. "I'm disappointed in a lot of people."
The allegations date back to Dec. 19, 2016. The elder Mabe had just left his son's office with $2,400 in cash to buy Christmas presents for the entire family. He had apparently only driven a short distance in Texas City when he suffered a heart attack.
The family says Officer Crouch was the first responding officer. They allege that the officer, instead of focusing on saving Mabe's life, first took the $2,400 cash. The family says according to a Texas City Police memo, the incident was captured on the officer's body camera.
