'Bling Ring' Film's Pay Records Raise Questions About LAPD Officer - Latimes.com

More Money, More Problems For 'Bling Ring' Consultant Cop

Payroll records appear to contradict how much money a Los Angeles police officer who brought down the "bling ring" said he was paid to work as technical advisor on a movie about the case.

Officer Brett Goodkin, who is under investigation by the LAPD for consulting on Sofia Coppola's docudrama while assigned to the case, was paid between $5,000 and $6,000 for advising on the production, authorities said. But payroll records turned over to defendants in the burglary case show Goodkin was paid $12,500 by the filmmaker and her production company.
