A judge on Wednesday sentenced a Chesapeake police officer accused of stealing ammunition from his department to 12 months in jail with all but one month suspended, according to the Virginia Courts Case Information Web site.
Charles G. Adams will also spend a year on unsupervised probation and pay $107 in court costs, the document said. Adams was charged last month with one count of petit larceny, a misdemeanor.
Adams resigned from the department after the investigation began, a police department spokeswoman has said.
A second Chesapeake police officer, whose identity was not released, was placed on administrative leave but did not face criminal charges.
On Oct. 10, police executed a search warrant and seized dozens of boxes ammunition from the home where Adams and the second officer were living in the 2500 block of Alleghany Loop in Virginia Beach.
They took hundreds of hollow-point bullets, thousands of rounds for various handguns, hundreds of smokeless blank rounds, dozens of ammunition magazines stamped "Restricted Law Enforcement/Government Use Only" and dozens of shotgun shells, according to search warrant paperwork filed in court in Virginia Beach.
