Horsing Around

|

Bakersfield, California, police officer Claudia Payne has resigned after she was investigated for making a false report of a crime. In 2006, she reported that a friend's horse she was caring for had been stolen. Last year, the friend found the horse, and Payne admitted she had sold it and filed a false report. She was not charged because the statute of limitations had run out.
