LAKELAND, Fla. – A Polk County deputy has turned in his badge after his wife and mother-in-law took his patrol car out for a joyride. Officials said the 44-year-old deputy resigned Monday after serving 21 years with the sheriff's office.

The arrest report said his wife and mother-in-law face charges of vehicle theft, theft of a firearm and impersonating a law-enforcement officer. His wife also faces charges of possession of a firearm of a convicted felon.

A third person riding in the back seat also was arrested.

Witnesses reporting seeing the patrol car driving erratically in Lakeland on Sunday morning. The deputy apparently didn't know the car was taken.

The story itself is kinda funny but I think it's a shame that the Officer felt he had to resign.

It's a shame this police officer had to pay the price for the stupid actions of his wife and mother-in-law!

Yeah I agree. Why should he have to pay for his family's actions?
