DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - A man who admitted stealing prescription pills from a home while working as a police detective in suburban Dayton has given up his Ohio peace officer certification but won’t have to spend time in prison.
Former Kettering detective Ryan Meno (MEE’-noh) was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days of home detention and five years of probation. The 37-year-old Meno previously pleaded guilty to drug theft, obstructing official business, and theft in office.
Investigators alleged that he took pills from a woman’s home after police investigated a reported possible break-in.
The Dayton Daily News reports that Meno apologized in court and said his actions left him ashamed and cost him a career that he loved.
