The deposit occurred on March 21, 2023. Days later, on March 27, bank employees realized the error, withdrew the funds and closed the officer's account.
However, his spending resulted in his account being overdrawn by $35,903.17, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors did not specify which bank was impacted.
