HAMMOND, Indiana ? A former East Chicago police officer who worked a private security job while on duty for the northwest Indiana city has been ordered to serve eight months of home detention.

The Post-Tribune of Merrillville reports (http://bit.ly/13DULoY ) U.S. District Judge Rudy Lozano sentenced 42-year-old Shawn Pitts on Fruday, ordering him to serve the home detention as part of two years on probation. Lozano also ordered Pitts to repay $10,883 in restitution.

Pitts pleaded guilty a year ago to mail fraud as part of a plea agreement, admitting checks from a housing project where he was supposed to be working security were mailed to his home. Pitts worked for the East Chicago Police Department from 1997 until 2011.

Pitts apologized to the city, saying he didn't live up to his responsibility.
