A Los Angeles police officer pleaded not guilty today to a grand theft charge for allegedly receiving more than $8,000 in wages for work she did not perform last year, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.
Monica Renee Moore (dob 3/2/72) was charged in case BA478090 with one count of grand theft. She is scheduled to return for a preliminary hearing setting on June 26 in Department 31 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center.
