Former Illinois officer charged with stealing from non-profit, arrested in Branson
By Kathee Baird
A police officer in Branson busted a former Woodridge, Illinois cop who is accused of stealing more than $30,000 from a police charity.
During a routine traffic stop on Tuesday (10-18-11) Officer Lance Gott ran Scott Webb’s license and discovered he had an active warrant for his arrest for stealing.
Webb, a 10-year-veteran of the Woodridge department, was indicted in late May after authorities discovered he allegedly stole more than $30,000 that was raised during two events to support families of fallen officers.
The missing money was intended for the Illinois chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors, a nonprofit that helps send families of fallen officers on trips to Washington, D.C., where their loved ones are honored.
Scott Webb, a 10-year-veteran of the Woodridge department, was sought on a $250,000-bail arrest warrant on accusations that he never donated more than $30,000 raised during two events to support families of fallen officers.
Webb, of Romeoville, is accused of taking funds from the “Crawlin’ for the Fallen” pub-crawl fundraiser in 2009 and 2010, which were hosted by the Woodridge Police Association.
