Per an FBI press release (which you can read by clicking here) three (3) former East Cleveland narcotics detectives are now facing federal corruption charges for a scheme to steal tens of thousands of dollars from suspected drug dealers.
The federal government has alleged that that the three (3) former detectives falsified reports, conducted illegal searches and committed other crimes to steal cash from suspected drug dealers between 2012 and 2014. Per Stephen Anthony, Special Agent in charge of the FBI’s Cleveland Office: “These three officers acted like cunning criminals rather than honorable public servants that are sworn to protect and serve. They will be held accountable for their reprehensible conduct.” Per Steven Dettelbach, the U.S. Attorney for northern Ohio (pictured below): “The trio allegedly split their loot like a criminal in an East Cleveland park.”
Authorities say that the former detectives’ actions compromised legitimate cases and caused drug charges to be dropped against some defendants. Per the FBI press release:
The defendants, between 2012 through June 2014, conspired to unlawfully enter premises and exceed the scope of lawful entry, thereafter conducting unlawful searches and seizures, used their power to seize money and property for themselves under the guise of legitimate search warrants, and created and approved false reports, affidavits and other documents to conceal their illegal searches and seizures, according to the indictment.
These illegal searches took place in East Cleveland but also outside city limits, in various locations throughout Greater Cleveland, according to the indictment.
The conspirators placed false and inaccurate information in police reports, which Moore reviewed, knew was incorrect, but she failed to correct the inaccuracies. This false information was used to obtain search warrants, according to the indictment.
The conspirators seized money and property during these searches, and diverted some of the seized money and property for their own use. Malone provided false information to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office about certain investigative techniques in order to conceal their illegal conduct, including attributing information to a confidential informant that did not exist, according to the indictment.
Memo to the Folks: As is the case with most walks of life, the “bad” are concurrently a minority and a serious blight on the majority. Thus, arresting and prosecuting “bad cops”, such as these three (3) former detectives in question (Torris Moore, Antonio Malone and Eric Jones) is a “good” thing. Whether you choose to believe it or not, most cops appreciate weeding out “bad seeds” as much if not more so than anyone else.
