Employee charged in Kan. sheriff's evidence room theft is sentenced

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — One of two former Sedgwick County sheriff's employees accused of stealing cash, drugs and weapons from the department's evidence unit has been sentenced to a suspended jail term and one year of probation.

The Wichita Eagle reports that 47-year-old Marc Gordon was sentenced after pleading guilty earlier this month to one count of official misconduct and three counts of theft, all misdemeanors.

Prosecutors say Gordon was a property and evidence technician with the agency when he and a supervisor stole more than $7,700 in cash, several pounds of cocaine, meth and other drugs and several Samurai-style swords.

The missing evidence led the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office to dismiss or review dozens of drug cases.

WOW, this guy gets a slap on the wrist? They don't have to return the money? How much money did they make
off of the "several pounds of cocaine"? Anybody else would be sitting in jail at least 10 years. Didn't even get fired?
This almost sounds like they were doing it to cover someone's ass who was high profile in the community because
drug cases were dismissed. Only in a deep red state does shit like this happen. No more at link,
other than his picture.
