Cop Busted Over Fake Stone Cold Scam

They don't make 'em real smart in Greensburg, Indiana, do they? A local
cop has been busted allegedly for pocketing the cash duped fans forked
over for autographs from a fake "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. We'll
explain.

According to prosecutors, 37-year-old Indiana State
police officer David L. Scudder was called to a local Wal*Mart last
month to investigate the phony Austin.
When they got there, prosecutors say Scudder asked the suspected fake's
"promoter" to hand over $166 -- of his own money. Scudder allegedly
gave the man a receipt -- but didn't mention to anyone that he had
taken the money. A police report filed days later didn't mention the
cash or the receipt -- but claimed the money "was returned to the fans
at the scene." That's news to the bilked fans, says the DA, who says
none of the victims got their money back.

After an investigation was launched into the incident, Scudder resigned from the force.
