BARTOW, Fla. (AP) — Three former Florida deputies are facing charges after several hundred dollars seized during an arrest went missing, officials said Monday.

Former Polk County deputies John Raczynski, 24, Jamal Lawson, 29, and Garrett Cook, 26, resigned following their arrests Friday, Sheriff Grady Judd announced.

The three deputies were involved in the arrest of a woman on drug charges in December. Raczynski was the arresting officer, while Lawson and Cook joined him as backup, officials said.

The deputies seized $723, which was suspected to be related to drug sales, according to authorities. Raczynski logged the money in an incident report and probable cause affidavit but never submitted the money into property and evidence.

1. They shouldn't have been allowed to resign.

They should have been fired first so they couldn't get employment in law enforcement elsewhere.

4. Good point. If a civilian stole $700.00, s/he'd face serious consequences.

Losing your LE career is the minimum price to be paid.

2. Florida - such a beautiful location, populated by a lot of strange people.

6. Grady Judd did throw them in The Slammer though.

Whatever happened to the National Database they were going to set up so police couldn't run from one state to the other and get back into law enforcement??
