Rookie Cop Lies on the Job Gets Arrested

@Copwatchtv obtained body camera and 911 footage of a Ruidoso Police Department rookie officer lying about a break in at his house.

At the start of his shift he was told to go home and shave. He stopped at Wal-Mart to get supplies to shave. He came home to his house to shave. He left the house and forgot his body camera. He kicked his door in to retrieve his body cam. He proceeded to call 911 to report someone had broken into the home.

Investigators from his department were quick to realize the break in was done by the rookie officer.

Dude gets sent home to shave. Goes and buys candy. Locks himself out. Kicks in the door and files a false report. Insane.

[JesseTrapp]

He got fired because the detective realized if he lied about this, imagine what he would lie about during an arrest. Thanks for taking him off the force

[frank-qfpm]

Can you imagine your boss firing you inside your own house?

[TheJimBaugh]

At least the police caught the guy that broke in

I feel like I’m watching a child get scolded by his dad, he’s definitely not ready to be a police officer.

The second-hand embarrassment is actually making me uncomfortable.

[yungcorleone]

Breaking into your own house and falsely reporting that it was burglarized is next level stupidity

The officer who disciplined him was fantastic! Very calm, collected, and respectful.

lost his job, got a charge and still has to pay for the door
genius

[Kdubtru]

Literally the dumbest reason for a cop to lie...

[damonx]

Bro entered his house a cop and left in cuffs, what a historic L

[zhane]

Imagine getting arrested, fired, and kicked out of your home, all within 30 minutes of a phone for pathetic lie. All three by your boss no less.

[apaulotroughtzmantz]

Admitting that you locked yourself out would be 65, 000 times less embarrassing

[michaelsublet]

If he lies like that for no reason imagine how he's going to lie on a report and ruin someone's life.

[kendrick]

Bruhhh, he looks like a mall security guard 😂😂😂

[bottomofthemap]

They noticed a child size boot print on the door and immediately knew it was him

[kil-roy]

Guy needs to retrace his steps back to Walmart and ask for an application

[check]

Imagine going through a whole police academy just to get fired for this unnecessary lie.

[rustykettle]

"I have been on the force an entire 24 hours, when will i get to kick a door in!?"
(Looks at own door)
"Well.. I dont see why not"

[thecoopjaxthedog]

He ain't right in the head the fact he was told to go back home to shave tells you he's no adult yet.
