(KGO-TV) A former Texas City police officer is accused of taking money from Jim Mabe while he was suffering from a heart attack in his car.
Former officer Linnard Crouch, Jr. resigned from the force earlier this year. However, no criminal charges have yet been filed. Frustrated, the Mabe’s family is suing the city and the officer.
“There’s more than enough anger to go around, to be honest with you,” said son Michael Mabe. “I’m disappointed in a lot of people.”
The allegations date back to Dec. 19, 2016. The elder Mabe had just left his son’s office with $2,400 in cash to buy Christmas presents from the entire family. He had apparently only driven a short distance in Texas City when he suffered a heart attack.
