A San Francisco Sheriff’s deputy gave her department-issued pistol to a former inmate she allegedly had a relationship with, then claimed it was stolen in a robbery at her home that never happened, federal prosecutors said Friday.

April Myres, 52, filed a claim with her insurance company in March 2016 alleging the theft of her personal property — including Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Versace handbags, Gucci shoes, and her handgun — according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California.
