A South Florida police officer is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from a home during a drug raid.
Zachary Immler, 31, of Boca Raton, was arrested Tuesday on a grand theft charge.
A police report says the theft occurred when officers were serving a search warrant at a home on 29th Street Oct. 25.
A woman who lived there told police that there was more than $5,000 in cash inside the home.
"The (woman) pointed to the dresser and stated the money should be on the floor behind the curtains," Officer Daniel Leffew wrote in the report. "(An undercover officer) looked behind the dresser and moved the curtains. The money was not there."
As officers began searching again, Immler asked to speak with his sergeant in private, the report said.
Immler admitted to the sergeant that he had the money, Leffew wrote.
Immler said he took the cash and put it in his car while he was putting away his tactical vest, the report said.
Police later determined that Immler had taken a total of $6,520 in cash.
Immler was booked into jail and later released on his own recognizance.
