Former Glendora police officer pleads not guilty to stealing drugs, money
GLENDORA -- A former Glendora police officer accused of stealing money and drugs while on duty entered a not guilty plea in court Wednesday, court officials said.
Timothy Radogna, 33, was charged in May with grand theft, possession of drugs for sales and possession of drugs with a firearm.
He was fired from the Glendora Police Department in December of 2008 after he became the target of an integrity investigation three months earlier, officials said. He was arrested in May.
In the investigation, Radogna allegedly stole about $1,000 and a small amount of methamphetamine from a car he was asked to book into evidence.
Radogna was a 3-year veteran of the Glendora police, who had also served on the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and Covina Police Department.
Court officials said Radogna is due back in Los Angeles Superior Court Oct. 29 for a hearing.
