The FBI is investigating Suffolk County Chief of Police James Burke after allegations surfaced that he beat a man who broke into his car, NBC 4 New York reports.
Christopher Loeb, 26, said he was home in Smithtown when Burke attacked him on Dec. 14.
He is accused of stealing the chief’s gun belt, ammunition, handcuffs and other items stuffed into a duffel bag in the chief’s SUV.
This should not be handled as a major case for the FBI which just eliminated several Mafia squads in their NYC office due to manpower shortages.
