A South Tucson police officer has been fired after becoming the focus of an FBI and IRS probe.
Lieutenant Richard Garcia came under suspicion of cashing checks intended for the city and its police department. Garcia was the second-highest ranking officer in the department. He was fired last week.
City manager Enrique Serna says South Tucson officials became aware of the federal investigation about a month ago. Garcia was promoted to lieutenant in May and would have marked his 13th year with the department later this month, city officials said.
