Two Wayne police officers may spend a year in jail for trying to look like country star Kenny Chesney. Officers Gregg Richard Anderson and Frank Cazazos, both 38, were fired from the department after they were charged with stealing 21 beige straw cowboy hats from a vendor outside a Chesney concert last month at Ford Field.

Both were charged Tuesday with larceny over $200 and under $1,000, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. They were to be arraigned Tuesday at 36th District Court.

A vendor was selling hats on Aug. 8 before the Chesney concert when the off-duty officers approached him, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said.

Anderson and Cazazos asked him if he had a license to sell the hats, Worthy said. When the vendor said no, the officers allegedly grabbed the hats and left.

They told the vendor he could pick the hats up at a Detroit police precinct. People later saw the officers sporting some of the cowboy hats.

Detroit police confiscated the 21 hats worth $316.
