A police officer helped steal Crime Stoppers reward money totaling more than $18,000. That officer pleaded guilty to the crime this summer, but it’s been kept under wraps — that’s until WREG Investigators uncovered federal records.

Albuquerque Crime Stoppers is searching for a man accused of attempting to steal $800 from a liquor store. Officials said the man entered Paradise Liquors at 6531 Paradise Blvd. NW and pointed a gun at employees and made threats to kill one of the workers.

New details have emerged about a now-former Memphis Police officer serving time in federal prison for stealing thousands of dollars in Crime Stoppers reward money. While MPD has not commented, they did fulfill WREG Investigators’ open records request Friday and provided Arica Hutchison’s photo and employment records.

In addition to six months behind bars, Hutchinson will have to spend two years on probation once she's released, as well as pay back the money that was taken from the Crimestoppers program.
