Donn Dunkle worked for Douglas County Sheriff’s Office from May 27, 2008 to Feb. 6, 2024, according to a revocation order from the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training, also known as KS-CPOST.

Dunkle did not respond to an opportunity to comment for this story.

The revocation order gave this account:

Dunkle responded to a property check at a school gymnasium on Feb. 1. He entered through an unlocked door and took a can of soda and a bag of chips from a concession area.

He “did not have permission from the school to do so and did not pay for them,” the order says.

The theft was recorded on the school’s security camera.

Dunkle left the door unlocked and did not log the property check or turn on his body camera during the check. He admitted to taking the soda and chips during an internal investigation.

The school did not press criminal charges against him.
