Sheriff steals gear to sell on ebay

Former Santa Fe, N.M., Sheriff Greg Solano, 47, pleaded guilty to five counts of stealing police gear to sell on eBay. He admitted to taking a wide range of property — bulletproof vests, printer ink cartridges, cellphone chargers, blank CDs and flashlights. Solano’s plea deal reduced the charges against him from 241 to five, but could still get him an eight-year prison sentence. He claimed he resorted to crime because of personal financial problems.
