Police Officer In Ventura County Arrested, Accused Of Time Card Fraud To Tune Of $100,000

A police officer in Ventura County is accused of padding his timecard, and taking more than $100,000 he didn’t earn.

Ventura County prosecutors say Simi Valley Police Officer Robert Longdon committed time card fraud during a more than three year long period.

They say the 44 year old officer claimed he worked on days he didn’t actually work, and that he sometimes padded the hours for days when he was on duty.

Simi Valley Police discovered the issue. Longdon was arrested, and put on administrative leave pending resolution of the one attempted grand theft, and four felony grand theft charges.
