the systems is corrupt! this pig steals $80,000 and only gets a year in jail. Original Article Embezzler gets year term The Arizona Republic Dec. 6, 2005 12:00 AM A former investigator for the Arizona Attorney General's Office was sentenced Monday to 366 days in federal prison for embezzling nearly $82,000 from the state law enforcement agency. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, David A. Bauer, 53, of Glendale, claimed in expense reports that he was using the money to pay off informants and buy narcotics during undercover stings. However, FBI agents determined that the defendant was depositing the money in personal bank accounts. Bauer, a former Phoenix police detective, initially was charged with 14 counts, including wire fraud, theft and money laundering. He pleaded guilty in May to theft and is expected to begin serving his sentence as soon as the Bureau of Prisons assigns him to a facility. Paul Charlton, U.S. attorney for Arizona, said the prosecution signifies a relentless effort to stop corruption by government officials. "Bauer abused the public's trust," Charlton said. "As a result he lost his job, his reputation and now his liberty."
