An attorney for fired Hallendale, Florida police officer Yan Kleyman, claims Department superiors were well aware of his client's gambling addiction.

Kleyman is accused of pawning department-issued weapons and other items over the past year in an effort to support said addiction. Officials said he unloaded 15 different items at a local pawn shop.  Chief Sonia Quinones said Friday in a video posted on the Hallandale Beach Police Department's Facebook page that the former officer had been arrested for dealing in stolen property. Kleyman turned himself in on Friday.
