Former Whitehouse Officer Charged with Burglary

WHITEHOUSE — A now-former Whitehouse reserve police officer turns in his uniform and badge after officials say he was caught on camera stealing from someone else’s truck. KETK reports the suspect, Reginald “Reggie” Wilson, 36, of Tyler, also spent some time as a full-time officer in Whitehouse and ran for a constable post a couple of years ago. Along with that, he was a trainer at a Tyler gym — where he was allegedly spotted making the theft from a client’s vehicle. The client said items including cash and checks had already been taken from his truck before he set up the camera that reportedly caught Wilson in the act. Wilson turned himself in to Tyler police and was charged with two counts of burglary of a vehicle. He’s now free on $1,000 bond. Wilson has also been terminated by the health club. The Whitehouse police chief says he’s shocked by the news about his former employee.
