Police Officer Arrested, Accus
A Daytona Beach police officer was arrested on Friday afternoon.
Officer Bobby Rush, 29, has been with the Daytona Beach Police Department for five years and a member of the Crime Suppression Team.
Officials said that in recent weeks members of Rush’s team became suspicious that evidence of some of the arrests wasn't making it to the property room.
A civilian complaint also came through, meaning someone was arrested, items were taken from him and tagged and some of the things taken from him didn’t come back.
The DBPD did integrity checks to check the integrity of their own officers.
They sent Rush to check a van for drugs in an area where drug activity frequently occurs, only DBPD planted $90 in marked cash.
"At the end of his night when he secured, his supervisor asked him several times what the results of that search were. Several times he responded that nothing was recovered. He was asked if he had anything that was seized. He said that he had turned in a crack pipe that was seized during the course of the night, which he did in fact turn in after he pocketed the $90," Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood said.
Officials said Rush was stopped on his way home and he did say that he had $90 that he had forgotten to turn in.
Officers arrested him and he is facing charges of official misconduct.
He will be fired after getting 72 hours notice, as early as next week. He will be placed on administrative leave when he bonds out of jail.
