Deputy Charged w/Defrauding Vets Administration

Item: Ex-Bonner County deputy charged with defrauding VA: Sebero allegedly collected $1.5M in benefits before indictment/SR

More Info: James M. Sebero is charged with three counts of making false statements on documents he filled out to begin receiving disability payments after his discharge from the U.S. Air Force in the 1970s. Sebero reportedly claimed he became paralyzed from a service-related injury in the 1970s when he apparently began receiving VA disability payments. In the meantime, he worked for four years as a seasonal marine deputy in Bonner County and also operated an aircraft repair facility at Felts Field in Spokane, authorities said.

Question: Is your view of law enforcement shaken when an officer is caught doing something inappropriate?
