Officer willfully damages someone's property

Brian Lithicum, 33, was working an accident involving an over turned vehicle on May 29 in the 12600 block of Red Bluff Road.

Another officer on the scene reported seeing him throw a pair of shoes in the water from the vehicle, according to Sgt. Mike Baird, a spokesman for Pasadena police.

Witnesses also reported Lithicum took a radio out of the overturned vehicle and placed it so it would be damaged when the wrecker moved it, Baird added.

Lithicum also reportedly requested the Pasadena Fire Department use hydraulic extrication equipment for no apparent reason, Baird said.

Lithicum was indicted Thursday in the 338 District Court and released on a $5,000 bond. He was suspended with pay Friday.
