D.C. police sergeant stole from elderly
A District of Columbia police sergeant has pleaded guilty to stealing thousands of dollars from an 85-year-old woman.
Sgt. Aisha Hackley, 36, on Monday pleaded to first-degree theft of a senior citizen and faces up to 15 years in prison. As part of her plea deal, she has to resign from the police force by Tuesday and pay restitution of $40,000.
According to prosecutors, Hackley, who worked in the Northwest Washington, responded to a report by the elderly woman who said she was the victim of a lottery scam. Hackley befriended the woman in December and began forging the woman’s checks, totaling more than $43,000, according to the police report.
