Georgia police officer loses job over Big Foot hoax.
http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/met...ge_tab_newstab
It seems that Big Foot turned out to be a monkey costume embedded in ice.
The thing that gets me is, what person in their right mind, especially a LEO, would pull a stunt like this, knowing that big foot enthusiasts would melt the ice to verify the findings and then expose the whole thing as being a hoax. This guy has embarrassed not only himself and family, but the Clayton county PD as well.

Well, he was out on medical, so maybe he was trying to guarantee a medical retirement?

Thats what he gets for playing opossum.

"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

if he wouldn't have taken money... might not have gotten fired...
