A sign of the times....

We're all familiar with cases where hospitals audit their drug supply and find they are missing 5,000 pills (strangely, never Amoxicillin).

Arkansas Dept of Corrections finds it is missing 28,000 rounds of .38 Special.

So they lost 38 Special ammo for a revolver, and the picture is of an autoloader in what looks like 50 Action Express. Did somebody steal all the 38 revolvers, too? I would think they're easier to find than a Desert Eagle when you want something to photograph.

Hey, stock foto of "ammunition" - accuracy not required since this is "journo-lism".
But the ammo was supposed to be destroyed, not used (one assumes it was left-over .38 ammo from before they adopted autoloaders), so charging the guy for mis-appropriating something that was going to be destroyed anyway would make them look even sillier. The only thing considered "horrible" here is that it was AMMUNITION, which, as we all know, will randomly commit gun violence all on its own.
I think the guy did good - the stuff went to a good use instead of being destroyed (and he saved them the cost of destroying it!)

This stuff was only brought in, in 2017? Where has it been all those years as they most likely went to semi-autos way before that.

I have seen ammo sold by cops, and I never thought it was stolen. In my home town it was from the individuals allotment of training ammo, and when I asked I was told he would rather sell it than shoot it. Definitely not in policy, but it was a great price for Gold Dot HP.

" ...rather sell it than shoot it...." a/k/a "theft" of organization property meant for training. If nothing else, intended use of the "issue" ammo would have allowed confidence that the issued ammo functioned properly with the service firearm, and, most likely, would have had old ammo, which might have been contaminated by lubricants and age, fired and replaced with fresh issue. Trying to be "cute" to avoid "theft" doesn't cut it. The Officer selling the issued ammo was a fool and you bought "stolen" ammo.
