MIAMI - A Hialeah Gardens police officer is accused of being on the wrong side of the law.

Police said the 30-year-old went to a pawn shop in Miami in September and pawned his service pistol and AR-15 rifle for a few hundred dollars.
Investigators also said Carbo found his co-worker's lost credit card and told him that he would hold onto it until they could meet again.
But Carbo used it to make $1,500 worth of fraudulent purchases.
He reportedly used it to buy guns at the pawnshop.
Carbo also made purchases at a Walmart, gas station, and restaurant -- for online shopping and Uber rides.
