Officer accused of wallet theft
COBB COUNTY, Ga. - When a young boy found a wallet inside the restroom of a Cobb County bowling alley, he handed it to his aunt. That woman gave the wallet to her husband.
But when that man, Akii Isaac Myers, got the wallet, he didn't try to find its owner, police said. Instead, he took $500 out and the owner's identification, according to an arrest warrant obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Myers then handed the cash to his wife before turning the wallet in to bowling alley employees, police said.
The July 29 act was caught on surveillance cameras at the bowling alley, and Myers later confessed, the warrant states.
Myers was a DeKalb County police officer at the time. Cobb investigators told DeKalb County police about the theft investigation on Aug. 1, according to a police spokeswoman. Myers resigned from the department the next day.
Myers, of Marietta, turned himself in Aug. 3 and was charged with theft by taking, a misdemeanor, Cobb County jail records show. He was released after posting $1,000 bond.
An arrest warrant was secured for Myers' wife, Laprencilla Malisa Myers, on the same charge of theft by taking.
