Another Crime in California

- Ariana Mendoza


According to the Los Angeles Times, Kirk Robert Lotzgesell, “a former La Habra police officer has been charged with stealing more than $60,000 from a law enforcement football charity…” This charity raised money to give scholarships to future football players.

He was accused of writing himself many checks and making many withdrawals from the organization’s bank  account through an ATM.

This article relates to chapter 7 because this man committed a crime. He stole money from an organization for his own benefit, to pay his bills and do as he wished . This act was a violation of the law. This article also relates to chapter 7 because the crime he committed was considered a white-collar crime. He “was” a respectable person who committed the crime of stealing. Being a police officer gave him a respectable status because he was the one who was supposed to help stop crimes not start them.
