The former chief of the Stockton Police Department was charged Tuesday after an investigation into his payment for working contracted shifts with Utah Highway Patrol.
Travis Stephen Romney, 36, was charged with two counts of theft and one count of communications fraud. All three are 2nd-degree felonies.
According to court documents, an agent with the Utah Department of Public Safety heard from a Stockton city official who said they found"irregularities" in Romney's paychecks in February of this year. According to the contracts for Romney's overtime work on the DUI shifts, the state would reimburse the city for his pay on those shifts.
"The difference between what Romney was paid and the amount of money that Highway Safety reimbursed the Town of Stockton for is $118,644.15," charging documents stated.
