NEW: North Providence Police Chief Guilty of Stealing Cash from Stripper

Tuesday, July 03, 2012

 

North Providence Police Chief John Whiting on Tuesday was found guilty of stealing $714 in cash from a stripper and soliciting police.

Whiting was accused of stealing the money from a woman following a car chase during Tropical Storm Irene last summer.

After stealing the money, he later told a Pawtucket police officer to take it to Las Vegas. That officer, John Brown, testified against Whiting.

Whiting will be sentenced on September 14.

I'm totally stunned.
What, with all the corruption and back door dealings, I thought for sure that he'd be found not guilty.

Kudos do those who did the right thing. This town and state need to start punishing those who feel they're above the law.

I am sure he got caught the first time; the very first time he ever did anything like this.

I sure would like to see and hear some positives in and around North Providence.
