cop caught stealing from office refrigerator

Asians behaving badly... food stealing cop edition! Anyone who's ever worked in a setting with a shared, communal fridge might relate to this. Have you ever had to deal with someone stealing your food? Right out of your sack lunch. It happens and it's outrageous, because seriously, who does that?

I'll tell you who. This guy. In the Houston area, a police officer has been suspended after he was caught stealing from the Deer Park police station's refrigerator. The culprit: Officer Kevin Yang, who is accusing of taking lunches, drinks and 60 pounds of deer sausage. Seriously: Cop Charged With Stealing From Office Refrigerator.
Kevin Yang, an officer in Deer Park, Texas, was busted after complaints that lunches, drinks and 60 pounds of deer sausage had disappeared from the officers' shared fridge started piling on the desk of his boss, Deer Park Police Chief Greg Griggs, ABC News affiliate KTRK reported.

Griggs approved a sting operation, setting up a hidden camera above the fridge and filling it with bait food – Monster energy drinks and sandwiches — in order to nab the lunch leech.

According to police, the video, released to the public by the department, caught Yang in the act pulling one of the unopened Monster energy drinks, clearly marked with the initials of one of the department's detectives, out of the break room refrigerator on Nov. 19.
Oh, no. You do not take another policeman's food! Officer Yang was caught on camera taking food and drinks on multiple occasions, and has been charged with theft, in addition to a 30-day unpaid suspension. I love the fact that it took a kitchen sting operation to take him down. Get your own damn food, ya thief!
