NYPD cop resigns after writing phony ticket for made-up cyclist
An #NYPD cop has resigned after writing a phony ticket for an imaginary bike rider โ and then, in an amazing display of chutzpah, billing the department for four hours of overtime. Varon Shepard, 49, pleaded guilty Thursday in #Manhattan Criminal Court to filing a false instrument. He was given a conditional discharge โ the condition was quitting his job.
His supervisor saw Shepard inside the 17th Precinct station house until 12:45 p.m. on Feb. 25. The bicyclistโs offense was supposedly committed at 11 a.m. No โCarlos Dejesus,โ the name on the ticket, lived at the address on the summonses.
