Ronny Neal, a police officer in Sanford, Florida, has been charged with 79 counts of official misconduct and organized fraud after investigators say he falsely reported 79 off-duty work shifts he never actually worked, for which he was paid more than $12,000 by the city. Neal is accused of stealing taxpayer money by creating fake off-duty details and submitting them for payment even though there was no real work done. Neal served in the department's Professional Standards unit, which investigates other officers for wrongdoing.
