(WIBW) - A former Lawrence police officer will serve two years probation for wire fraud.

32-year old Robert Ryan Sayler pleaded guilty to 14 counts of wire fraud. In his plea, he admitted he devised a scheme to defraud Target retail stores by purchasing video games, removing the video game disks and returning the games for cash. He removed the video disks from the packaging so that the package appeared to be unopened. Using a computer, he placed the stolen video games for sale on eBay.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says merchandise he stole and sold on eBay included six disks of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09, four disks of Soul Caliber IV, and four disks of Battlefield Bad Company.

U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch commended the U.S. Secret Service and Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Oakley for their work on the case.
