According to Stars & Stripes<\/a>, Stamford Connecticut police officer Donald Chen told his department that he needed leave to deploy with his Army Reserve unit. While he was on leave, his Reserve unit contacted the department because they couldn’t find Chen. Police, you know, being investigators in the business of tracking people down, finally located Chen;<\/p>\n

Police soon developed information that Chen may have been in Hawaii on vacation with his girlfriend. Then, Chen contacted investigators assigned to the case, first by e-mail then by phone, saying that he was in Taiwan with his father, who had a heart attack and was undergoing heart surgery, [police Chief Jon Fontneau] said.<\/p>\n

Police investigators circled back to Chen\u2019s family in Queens and found out from his mother that his father was alive, well and working in New York City.<\/p>\n

Confronted with that and other information at odds with his Taiwan story, Chen admitted that he was not in Taiwan and his earlier statements were lies and was indeed in Hawaii, Fontneau said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, Chen was allowed to resign from his police officer job before he could be fired. A job he had occupied for less than two years. I don’t understand this stuff – the police department continues to pay Reservists while they’re on deployment. That’s rare and an important benefit, so why do folks thank their employers for being so generous by scamming the system?

He turned himself in after a warrant was issued for issued for his arrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
