A police officer helped steal Crime Stoppers reward money totaling more than $18,000. That officer pleaded guilty to the crime this summer, but it’s been kept under wraps — that’s until WREG Investigators uncovered federal records.

In addition to six months behind bars, Hutchinson will have to spend two years on probation once she's released, as well as pay back the money that was taken from the Crimestoppers program.
