He then removed serial numbers from the goggles. The thefts occurred from June 2000 through May 2007, when he was fired. McCombs, 47, has already served time in prison for tampering with evidence. He tried to destroy photographs that were evidence in a rape allegation filed against him. He was accused of raping a drunken woman in his patrol car.
He was acquitted of rape, but found guilty of tampering with evidence. He was sentenced June 12, 2008, to two years in prison, but on June 17 was granted an early release.
