Oinky got lucky for the moment!
The trial for a police officer accused of stealing money handed in by the public has been abandoned.
Brearna Kelsi Sloss, a former acting sergeant, had been on trial at the Christchurch District Court this week. She faced 26 charges – 15 of theft by a person in a special relationship and 11 of accessing a computer system for a dishonest purpose.
She pleaded not guilty to all charges.
A legal issue arose on Tuesday and Judge Tony Zohrab abandoned the trial. The reasons are suppressed.
The case has a nominal callover date of November 28.
