Sheriff's Deputy Reprimanded After AR-15 Stolen From Car

A Florida sheriff's deputy is facing reprimand after his AR-15 was stolen from his unlocked car. 

The 17-year-old who authorities say stole the weapon was arrested after posting an Instagram video of himself dancing while holding the rifle in the air. 

Investigators recovered the rifle and other items stolen from Palm Beach County Sheriff's Deputy Heriberto Santiago's car on Aug. 14.

Following the incident, investigators recommended that Santiago should get a written reprimand for violating department policy.

Sheriff's officials say he could face additional discipline for his careless handling of department equipment.

The teen faces charges of burglary with a firearm and grand theft.
