In June 2023, Officer Scott Penna was arrested on charges of grand theft, scheme to defraud, and pension fraud. Penna had claimed a disability from an on-duty injury, stating he had limited use of his right arm. However, an investigation revealed him engaging in activities inconsistent with his claimed disability, such as lifting weights at the gym. Following his arrest, Penna was placed on administrative leave and subsequently terminated for violating multiple department policies.
