This week, we have been reporting on Police Constable Brandon Hertular, who according to police, stole a firearm and 3 cellular phones, and $1650 in cash from the family of Shirley Chicas when they conducted search of their home.
Well, Hertular was finally arraigned today for 1 count of burglary.
Hertular, who was unrepresented, pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted bail of $6,000 which he met this morning.
He is to return to court on April 23.
As we reported, he allegedly confiscated the items to be taken to the exhibit room pending the outcome of some unknown robberies. When Chicas reported the suspicious incident to police, Hertular was arrested and charged.
We note finally that his family told us on Monday that he didn't do what he is accused of because they can vouch for him, and that the department is only trying to damage his career and his reputation.
