North Providence Police Chief John Whiting on Tuesday was found guilty of stealing $714 in cash from a stripper and soliciting police.

Whiting was accused of stealing the money from a woman following a car chase during Tropical Storm Irene last summer.

After stealing the money, he later told a Pawtucket police officer to take it to Las Vegas. That officer, John Brown, testified against Whiting.

Whiting will be sentenced on September 14.
