The date for Tuesday, October 22nd goes to Erica Hutchison. Erica is a police officer in Memphis, Tennessee, and since 2018, she's been stealing. Okay, yes, this police officer helped steal Crimestoppers reward money, totaling $18,000. I swear we live in an era where you truly can't trust anyone to be anything but human. But this is just another example of there is no right way to do the wrong thing. Let's go to WREG3 News for the report, please. Record state from August 2023 through February 2024,

Memphis police officer Erica Hutchison used her position in law enforcement to enter fraudulent data into the Crime Stoppers database, then have a person named KB to receive rewards for tips. Two incidents detailed in the documents state in late 2023, tips for two separate crimes were approved for Crime Stoppers reward money. But days before that reward payout was scheduled, Hutchison updated the database system. It's unclear if she knew that system maintained an audit history listing which user made the modification. What we do know, January 10th, Memphis FBI field office agents conducted surveillance on the Crimestoppers payout location

and witnessed KB, the person Hutchison had been conspiring with, pull up and pick up the reward payment for both of the tips. Records go on to state Hutchison and KB fraudulently obtained $18,500 in rewards from Crimestoppers. Erica was running a scam from within the system. I'm telling you, man, one of the greatest books you can read is The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene. Humans are such interesting creatures to me because this woman was a police officer.

She was stealing reward money from crime stoppers since 2018. You just heard what they said. She was one of two officers assigned to sort through crime stoppers' tips and then give that information to the investigators. The investigator that investigators documents what that investigator documents, the usefulness of that tip in a database which Erica had access to. So from August 2023 to February of 2024, she used her position in law enforcement to enter fraudulent data into the Crime Stoppers database, had a person named kb to receive uh rewards from the tips here's what i don't understand you are a police officer erica how about simply do your job attempt to solve the crime connect with real people on the street it's bitches everywhere okay it is people willing to give up information all the time have those

people send in the real tips that lead to real arrests. And then when they collect the money, split it with them. I don't know if that's legal or not. No, that's not legal. That's not legal. You're just as dumb as her. All right. You've been watching too much power.

But at least you can fall back on the fact that, hey, you're really solving crimes. You're really getting criminals off the street. You're not making up things. OK, this is disappointing on multiple levels. First, you turned your badge into a side hustle by scamming crime stoppers. OK, that immediately makes you untrustworthy. And when you're a police officer, you're supposed to be in a position of trust. There is already a level of distrust between civilians and cops.

And it's because of situations like this. A lot of people feel like the cops spend all day beating us up, shooting us when we are unarmed, unarmed, are pulling heists like Alonzo on training day. All right. We know this isn't the truth about all officers, but because of things we've seen with our own eyes and propaganda, or should we say copaganda, this is what we think. And Erica, you didn't make the situation any better because instead of using your position as a cop to serve the community, you have used your position as a cop to serve yourself. Please give Erica Hutchinson the sweet sounds are the donkey. Of the day ye are the donkey. So you telling me if I'm a cop, if you're a cop, and I got people in the street. Got people in the street.

And I go to these people in the street and I go, hey, you know there's a reward for turning in such and such. Y'all can give me some information that can lead to the arrest of such and such. And then they give me that information. I give that information over to Crime Stoppers. Crime Stoppers uses that information and it actually leads to an arrest. And then that person gets a reward. If that person want to give me $500 for Christmas or $500 for my birthday

or $500 because he want me to go get some Dunkin' Donuts, that's illegal? Yes. There's no way that's legal. I don't believe that. You think there's like a police bribery agency like you get a 15% like an agent? You cannot take that. Not even bribery, but like, I don't know.

It's just, it's no. I've led you to some money, Lauren, you, right? You, you know somebody out here selling bad weeds or something, right? Bad weeds or weeds? Weeds. You know he said weeds. I just wanted to be clear.

So you tell me who these people are. It leads to an arrest. You get the reward money for it. And then you be like, you know what? I got $2,500. Here's $500. That's illegal? And why would you say weaves with her?

You know why he said it. He wanted me to go find the people that was trying to fix that hairline. And it didn't work. So he had to go bald. First of all. So I understand your intent. You know what I mean? There's no malice in your intent.

That's why I didn't react that first. Okay. Since you want to talk about it. Since you want to talk about it. We all got underlying issues and conditions. So I let them rock. She's been itching her scalp all morning. The girls at the cat understand.

She's been patting her head so much, she's going to give herself a concussion. Listen, Jess is going to come back from maternity leave and we're going to have to put her on concussion protocol. Because she's just in here like this all morning long. She need a rat tooth comb so bad to get up under that cap. It is the same. You said you wanted to give me some stuff for my birthday. Can you add the rat tooth comb to that gift bag?

Somebody get Lauren a rat tooth comb so she can get up under that cap. And I'm going to let you know. She's trying not to scratch right now. That's not real? She's trying not to scratch right now. It's a cap, Amy. The camera's on her. It's a cap. She's trying not to scratch right now. My hair is real? She's trying not to scratch right now. The camera's on her. It's a cat.

It's a weeb. She's trying not to scratch right now. My hair is out at the top. It's itching right now. It's like a fitted? No, not a fitted cat. Pat, pat, pat your weeb lady. Pat, pat.

Come on. Pat yours, lady. They're scratching. Pat yours, lady. Soon as we go to break, she's going to be. All right, gals. All right, gals. And you just sitting over there Watching me fight
