VERMONT STATE POLICE TROOPER ACCUSED OF STEALING ROLEX WATCH FROM EVIDENCE STORAGE ROOM
A state trooper who was accused of stealing a $14,000 Rolex watch in Vermont has resigned.
A request for a search warrant that was approved by a judge Dec. 22 said the missing property included a Rolex wristwatch and other items seized by narcotics investigators and Burlington police on Nov. 22. DiGenova showed a Rolex to another trooper and then had a watch appraised by a Burlington jeweler, according to the search warrant request. DiGenova told investigators he'd bought the watch from a relative and returned it.

DiGenova’s lawyer, David Sleigh, said last month that a number of troopers had access to the property room and DiGenova had been trying to buy a watch for his son's 21st birthday and he got one from a cousin that he later returned.
