Two former Peoria Police Department officers face fraud and theft charges, charged with counts of stealing tens of thousands of dollars from their police union.

Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced that 33-year-old Mitchell Fuller of Peoria, and 46-year-old Cameron Lebbon of Anthem, have each been indicted with 2 felony counts of Fraudulent Schemes and Artifices, and Theft from the Peoria Police Officer’s Association (PPOA). The alleged offenses are Class 2 felony offenses.

Each man, “knowingly obtained a benefit from Peoria Police Officers Association, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representation, promises, or material omissions,” according to court documents filed Oct. 19, 2021.
