HERINGTON, Kan. (WIBW/Gray News) A Kansas police officer is no longer employed after he fabricated a story that a McDonalds employee wrote an expletive on his coffee cup over the weekend.
Herington Police Chief Brian Hornaday confirmed in a news conference Monday that the officer resigned from his agency.
Hornaday said this is a "black-eye on the law enforcement community."
The officer confessed to making up the story after the chief investigated.

Fake News
I’m sure the Chief looked at his reports and saw that very unique “g” in them matching the hand writing?
Did he also drop a throwaway gun at the scene?
Fired!
A real Dick...
In cop lingo, throwaway guns are called “ham sandwiches”.
People who make false charges should be very severely punished. That includes “rape” victims and it includes cops who want to be famous.
It’s bad enough when it really happens but for a LEO to hoax is not good.
Our society used to value rugged individualism, bravery and accomplishments. Now we value victim-hood, and everyone wants in on it.
felony stupid
He made a false claim that could have gotten multiple people fired.
Unless it comes from a gum ball machine, he should never wear a badge.
It smelled.
Sounded like a Smollet type hoax.
I noticed the absence of pix of the cop-in-question.
Above the law, as usual. I see them flying down the road all the time.
The tip off is always when the insult is too much like they want the media attention.
"You're in MAGA country!" - Jussie Smollet.
Good thing McDonalds held their ground on this.
Cameras everywhere.
What an asshole.
This is the very first time, I’ve known where an Officer makes up an abuse story. This person should stop being a cop today. There is something screwy in the noggin. Some deep insecurity to throw a good job and all that training out the window. And for what? Nobody wins here.
People don't just steal money, they run off with all sorts of food or sleeves of cups or whatever. And some people will banging each other in the drive through if they aren't afraid of being caught...especially underage employees working their first boring job.
So the police chief knows because (as an earlier article mentioned) the store owner reviewed the camera footage and there was no note written on the receipt when the food was handed to the Officer.
“”””’Hornaday said this is a “black-eye on the law enforcement community.” “”””””””
Sounds racist, Jim.
He gives police officers a bad name.
Does a real cop use three sugars?
