A Polk County, Florida, Sheriff's deputy has been arrested after authorities say he stole a DVD after responding to a robbery at a convenience store.
The agency says 28-year-old Ernesto McCloud responded to a robbery last week to back up local police. Video surveillance shows him taking a DVD from the store and hiding it in his uniform. He was charged with petty theft and armed burglary.
McCloud resigned after he was arrested Friday. He was hired as a detention deputy in 2010 and became a deputy sheriff last year.
Authorities said he confessed to the theft and lamented throwing away his career for a $10 DVD.
A phone message for Ernesto McCloud could not be left Saturday because the phone appeared to be off the hook.
