New Mexico Cop Recorded Himself on Body Camera Stealing Drugs and Cash for Girlfriend

Normally cops “forget” to turn their body cams on right before they do something illegal. For Sergeant Roshern McKinney, a Grants, New Mexico police officer, it worked the opposite way. Instead of it “malfunctioning” right before he beat and/or shot someone, he inadvertently recorded himself stealing marijuana from the police station.

The video also showed him taking it to his girlfriend’s house and then engaging in a celebratory game of grab ass with her. the fun didn’t last long, though. not only has he been busted for the “Bad Apples Gone Wild” video, but during the investigation of that some additional “behind the scenes” extras were uncovered. Apparently, this isn’t the first rodeo he stole drugs from and he’s also accused of making off with almost $800 in cash.
