Former Wichita Falls PD officer sentenced for theft and money laundering, family goes free
Former Wichita Falls cop Scott Bradley Higgins was sentenced to 10 years and one day in prison Friday morning at the Wichita County Courthouse for buying pricey stolen goods and selling them online in a theft and money-laundering ring that turned hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal profits.
He pleaded guilty in July before 78th District Judge Barney Fudge to one count of organized retail theft over $300,000 and one count of money laundering over $300,000 in connection with criminal activity from Jan. 1, 2017, to June 18, 2018.
Punishment for each first-degree felony ranges from five years to life in prison and a fine up to $10,000.
As part of a plea agreement, charges will be dismissed against Scott’s wife, son and stepdaughter, who were named as co-defendants in the case.
