Pines Police Offer To Pay $15,000 To Couple She Snooped On, Jury Says

A Florida jury says a Pembroke Pines police officer owes $15,000 to a couple she illegally snooped on over the past two years.

Pines Police Officer Melodie Carpio, 41, admitted to using her job to look up information about her boyfriend's ex-wife and new husband on confidential law enforcement databases. The verdict was announced Tuesday after a one day trial in federal court in Miami.

Court records showed she snooped 167 times.

Now Carpio is personally liable to pay the civil judgment to Cindy Thibault and Claude Letourneau.

Attorneys said the verdict sends a message to law enforcement officers who abuse their power.

Pembroke Pines police disciplined Carpio after an investigation in 2016, but she kept her job.
