The investigation began in March 2014 that led to the arrest of the suspect in June The theft involved a long time employee who was suspected of stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise from the business and reselling the items for his own benefit. Officer Baird knew at that time that this investigation would require many hours of follow-up which could have allowed him the option of forwarding the report to the investigative unit; however, he accepted the responsibility of continuing the investigation on his own. Throughout the investigation, Officer Baird worked closely with the owner of the business in order to obtain the necessary evidence to make an arrest in the case. Officer Baird also worked with the state s attorney s office along with the investigative unit to collect information and evidence outside that business to solidify the case for the best chance of a conviction. Some of this work required him to work during his scheduled days off. The investigation revealed that the theft involved thousands more dollars in loss than the business initially discovered. The investigation also led to the seizure of thousands of dollars of suspected stolen property as well as thousands of dollars of US currency. Ultimately, the suspect was arrested in June and charged with Theft ($10,000 - $100,000).
