A Guam Police Department officer who was indicted on theft charges pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.

Ryan Gene Guerrero Shimizu, 49, was arrested in November and accused of stealing a wallet left behind at a store in Chalan Pago, police said.

The incident was captured by the store's security cameras. The store workers identified the person who took the wallet as an off-duty police officer.

Detectives identified Shimizu as the person on the video and he was subsequently interviewed and arrested. Shimizu was booked and released.

Earlier this month, a Superior Court of Guam grand jury handed up an indictment charging Shimizu with theft of property lost or mislaid as a third-degree felony, theft as a misdemeanor and official misconduct as a misdemeanor.
