Some of my longer-term readers may remember the occasional appearance of the Sheriff of Santa Fe County in these pages — a score of links and few of his comments. Sheriff Solano resigned last month (his term was about over).
Greg Solano appears to have sold more than 1,000 items stolen from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s office on eBay, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican. The former sheriff’s financial problems, which he says drove him to sell the stolen goods, are nothing new, though: The Santa Fe Reporter documents two decades of financial trouble.
Solano admitted to embezzling items from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office and selling them on eBay when he resigned last month. And it appears that his admission did not show the full extent of his thefts.
Too bad. He seemed like a good guy.
