Police: Firefighter Put Sugar In Tank As A Joke

A former Greeley firefighter faces criminal charges after police say he put a cup of sugar in a fellow firefighter’s gas tank as a practical joke.

The (Greeley) Tribune reports that Kevin Adler resigned from the Greeley Fire Department last week.

The 38-year-old was charged Tuesday with criminal mischief in the case.

The victim told police he was working an extra shift Aug. 14 when Adler put sugar down the gas tank of his personal truck.

Holmes said he noticed the problem three days later when he tried to fill his gas tank and it was blocked.

The victim showed police a text-message conversation he had with Adler, in which Adler offered to pay for the damages, estimated at $2,000 to $3,000.
