Texas City, TX — Officer Linnard R. Crouch was
seen on his own body camera—not helping a 74-year-old man who was having a heart attack—but robbing him. The elderly victim, James Mabe had the cash to go buy Christmas presents for his grandchildren, but because the cop robbed him instead of helped him he’d never make it. Now, the officer who stole a dying elderly man’s Christmas money will not be going to jail.
Last month, with almost no news coverage, Crouch pleaded guilty to robbing the elderly dying man. Instead of being punished for his utter betrayal of public trust and despicable act, Crouch was given probation and will not spend one day behind bars.
But that’s not all, Crouch has a history of corruption. Crouch was suspended prior to robbing a dying elderly man on Chirstmas after several complaints were filed against him, dating back to 2011.
