LA School Officer Convicted In fake Shooting

A school policeman who claimed to have been shot while on patrol, sparking a massive manhunt and a school lockdown, was convicted Monday of fraud and other offenses for making the whole thing up.


In a non-jury trial, Superior Court Judge Richard H. Kirschner convicted Officer Jeff Stenroos of felony counts of planting false evidence, insurance fraud, giving false evidence, workers compensation fraud and a misdemeanor count of making a false report of an emergency.
