A District of Columbia police officer whose service weapon was stolen during what he said was a carjacking on his way home from work later admitted to detectives that he gave one of the suspects a ride for money, according to court records.
Police said Tuesday that Officer Kevin Carey was driving to his home in East Baltimore late Monday when a woman stepped in front of his car and a man took the vehicle at gunpoint. But the officer was traveling away from his home at the time of the incident, raising questions about his story.
Charging documents show that city detectives pressed Carey on his story, and he later admitted that he had agreed to give the woman a ride to Greenmount Ave. and East 27th Street in exchange for $10.
His service weapon, a Glock G19, has not been recovered.
