Officer charged in connection with pawning police items

An Oklahoma City officer is accused of pawning police gear, over the period of multiple months.

Newsok.com reports Travis Smith was charged on Friday with 10 felony counts of making a false declaration of ownership to a pawnbroker.

He's said to have sold a police radio, gas masks, riot gear, and a ballistic vest.

It was his supervisor who actually noticed the items were being pawned.  The supervisor was searching a database law officers can access regarding pawn shops.

"Police supervisors suspected criminal behavior when Smith displayed suspicious actions and behavior," OKC police said in a release.

All of the pawned items have been recovered.  Police also found pawn tickets, signed by Smith.
