Frisco Officer Colby Hill Charged with Theft

Colby Hill, a former sergeant with the Frisco Police Department, has been arrested on felony theft charges after allegedly embezzling funds from the Frisco Police Officers Association (FPOA), where he served as treasurer. Hill unexpectedly resigned on August 7, prompting investigations by both the Frisco police and the Texas Rangers. Police Chief David Shilson condemned Hill's actions, emphasizing the breach of trust towards the community and his fellow officers. An arrest warrant was issued following the investigations, and Hill turned himself in to authorities on October 3. The amount of money stolen has not been disclosed, but the charges carry serious penalties under Texas law. The FPOA is an independent nonprofit organization that supports the police department through various charitable activities.
