CMPD to release video of former officer stealing $900 during arrest

Video showing the moment a former Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officer allegedly stole money from a man he was arresting will be released on Tuesday, the department announced.

Henry Chapman was arrested on March 14, hours after he allegedly took $900 from a man he was arresting and hid it in his patrol car. The incident started when Chapman pulled over a driver for speeding and then learned the suspect was wanted for a federal arrest warrant. According to an affidavit, the man had nearly $8,000 in his possession during the arrest.

I would be willing to bet this isn't the first time he stole money from an arrestee.

Remember his his face & name.When he gets out of this, he'll be coming to a police/sheriff's department in your town

He'll lawyer up then come back for a retirement claimed based on "PTSD" like they do.

Dude got caught in 4K. Hilarious. Just another street gang only this one has badges. Smh

I'm more worried about cops stealing my money than muggers.

Resigned? He needs to be charged and thrown in jail! This perfectly defines CMPD! You can say it doesn't define CMPD all day but the actions show otherwise.

The great words of Morgan Freeman. “It was at this moment he knew he f*cked up”. Wah wah waahhh😂

[Rivr]

who are they trying to bullshit. if it wasn't for the video, they would have all split it with each other.

He shouldn’t have been able to resign. He should’ve been fired.

[cmputer]

It’s weird to say “allegedly” when he ADMITTED to stealing the money.

[lesliefurgus]

Any one think it's the first ti.e he did this.

[alphabet]

Yes, it DOES define the men and women of CMPD... and ALL Fraternal Order members.

[nittygrittywithcarlton]

Well not only the street thugs I got to worry bout😂😂

[Daug]

“This incident DOES define the men and women of CMPD.”

Fix it for you.

[sweetkittiez]

That sad his whole livelihood was worth $900

[guestguest]

Lose your job over $900 dollars!!!???? 😶

[future_me_]

Chief should have started with an apology.

[Lou_Snuts]

Police departments allow this type of behavior because each dirty cop is expected to "kick up" a piece of what the get from stealing and shakedown to their superiors.

Next, investigate the bosses to see if they got a piece of this guy's and other department LEOs takes.

Why did the other officers, including the sergeant, spend so much time gaslighting and REFUSING TO LOOK IN THE CAR? Answer that question, there is NO good answer. But the answer is obvious.

It doesn't define the other officers??? It most certainly does! The cops refused to take this guy seriously for an infuriatingly long amount of time when all they had to do was tell Chapman to step out of the vehicle and do the exact same search they would do of any other person suspected of a crime. Chapman and so many other cops do this daily and get away with it because of the bro-code.
