Like many soldiers, he compartmentalized the trauma rather than seek counseling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also noted that as a former law enforcement officer, Wenger would face increased safety risks in prison, which could require heightened security and mean missing out on regular institution programming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But prosecutors said Wenger’s behavior, which included falsifying police reports and deleting text messages to cover his crimes, showed “contempt for the law” that should be used as evidence in support of a harsher sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12062501\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12062501\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251030-ATIOCHPITTSBURGFILE_00937_TV-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251030-ATIOCHPITTSBURGFILE_00937_TV-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251030-ATIOCHPITTSBURGFILE_00937_TV-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251030-ATIOCHPITTSBURGFILE_00937_TV-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Antioch Police Department in Antioch, California, on Oct. 30, 2025. \u003ccite>(Tâm Vũ/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“He was a sworn law enforcement officer who was looking to harm people, who encouraged and applauded other officers who harmed people, who helped to illegally distribute drugs, and who covered up what he did by deleting and falsifying evidence,” they wrote. “This was not an accident or oversight.
