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.

Following his arrest, Penna was placed on administrative leave and subsequently terminated for violating multiple department policies.
