A South Dakota Highway Patrol officer is facing felony theft charges. Brian Biehl is charged with Grand Theft by Law Enforcement Seized Property.
We looked over the court papers to find out what led to his arrest and why Biehl says he did it.
$69,668. That’s how much money Brian Biehl admits he took between May of 2012 and October of this year.
According to the affidavit in the case, Biehl was caught when numbers didn’t add up after a seizure, and he later admitted to stealing thousands of dollars over several years.
He admitted the thefts had been, “Going on for quite some time.” Adding that he took the cash to pay bills saying, “I know I screwed up.”
Biehl told an investigator he took the money from evidence bags and kept the empty bags in a briefcase in his squad car.
He also said he never took money during traffic stops or by selling the drugs he confiscated.
Biehl says he saved the evidence bags because he planned on paying the money back someday.
Biehl was working out of the South Dakota Highway Patrol office in Chamberlain. He worked with one of the department’s K-9 officers, which is why he handled so many drug cases. He blames the thefts on his “poor management” of money.

“Biehl says he saved the evidence bags because he planned on paying the money back someday.”
Just waiting for that BIG SCORE, right?
“He blames the thefts on his “poor management” of money.”
It sounds less criminal that way.
Throw the key away.
Just a cop acting like he’s a politician
That’s all
Cute story. I enjoy especially how you made it look very sad for him. Well I’m the one who got him busted. He illegally pulled me over for out of state plates…illegally ran a dog….illegally searched my vehicle…and arrested me for my own prescription oxy…when he freaked because the label was worn I immediately had a copy sent to my phone as I had 15 pins in my shoulder and a metal plate just four months before. He said I don’t care tell it to an attorney. He then took a night vision scope. Two knives. My iPad..iPhone..wallet. and all my money and none of those things are on the report. The jail immediately called him after looking at my prescription and said hey this guy is legit and he said I don’t care again. The jail kicked me right out no money. I started calling the state attorney and everyone else and got this piece of trash fired and caught but only because I was totally legit. How many lives did this piece of trash ruin illegally before this. None of what he says is legit.
“I enjoy especially how you made it look very sad for him.”
No one on this site has any love for pigs… that I can guarantee.
“None of what he says is legit.”
Definitely NOT limited to him alone.
That goes for ALL PIGS.
