A Haltom City police sergeant has been fired and two detectives disciplined for taking soft drinks from a refrigerator while executing a search warrant. Two other police detectives with the suburban Fort Worth department who witnessed the theft received written reprimands for failing to report it. Sergeant Dennis Ochs was fired over the incident at a Haltom City house, and detectives Josh Boyd and Roger Dale were suspended for 15 days and ten days respectively. Ochs and Boyd have filed appeals with Haltom City's Civil Service Commission. The case has been turned over to Fort Worth police for consideration of criminal charges. (Source)
