A former officer with the Rome Police Department pleaded guilty to theft by taking and violation of his oath of office charges this morning in Floyd County Superior Court and was sentenced to two years in prison and three years probation.

Kerry Duane Wagner of 20 Conasauga Court, Rome, was accused of stealing about $25,000 from September, 2006 to September, 2010 from the Coosa Valley Fraternal Order of Police, according to District Attorney Leigh Patterson.

Wagner paid all the money back, according to court documents.

He was sentenced under the First Offender Act by Judge Jack Niedrach.

The charges are not related to his duties as a Rome police officer. Wagner had been treasurer of the Coosa Valley FOP since 2002, said Ghee Wilson, president of the FOP.
