Law Enforcement: This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories
A Virginia sheriff and most of his department goes down for reselling seized drug and guns, a Border Patrol guard gets caught turning a blind eye in exchange for sex and cash, dope is missing from the Boston Police evidence warehouse, a small town police chief pleads guilty to protecting crack dealers, and two cops are going to prison for dealing drugs.
Two of our stories this week are from Mississippi, but there are a lot more crooked cops down in the Mudcat State, as the Jackson Clarion-Ledger noted last Friday in an article simply -- and aptly--titled "Accused-Lawmen List Grows." Let's get to it:
In Henry County, Viriginia, Henry County Sheriff Harold Cassell was indicted for covering up the sale of seized guns and drugs by 13 of his deputies. The sheriff's department crew made up 14 of 19 people indicted on charges including racketeering conspiracy, weapons offenses, narcotics distribution, obstruction of justice and perjury. The crew is accused of stealing drugs and guns being held by the department; distributing cocaine, marijuana, and "a date rape drug; money laundering; and obstruction of justice. Virginia state police have been sent in to patrol the county now that a substantial portion of the sheriff's department is behind bars. Cassell himself is out on $25,000 bond. He is accused of failing to take action after being notified of corrupt activities, helping to launder money, and lying to federal investigators.
In Seattle, a US border guard made bail Tuesday after being accused of letting drugs get through the border in return for cash and sexual favors from a female drug smuggler. Desmone Bastian allegedly allowed the smuggler, who is also a brothel madam, to make repeated trips into the United States carrying marijuana and Oxycontin. He came under suspicion when he was observed leaving his post at the Blaine, Washington, border crossing to approach her car, which was found to contain 3,000 Oxycontin tablets when it was searched. A review of border crossing records revealed she had made repeated trips through the border checkpoint, often in Bastian's lane, but had never been subjected to close inspection.
In Boston, the Boston Police Department's anti-corruption unit is investigating whether police officers stole drugs missing from an evidence warehouse. Earlier this month, police announced that some seized drugs could not be accounted for, but suggested they might only have been misplaced as they were moved from one section of the warehouse to another. Now, however, Boston police admit the drugs are missing, although they won't say which drugs or how much. As the investigation continues, local prosecutors are pondering how they will prosecute criminal cases without the evidence.
In Oxford, Mississippi, Ruleville Police Chief Ronald Durelle Robinson pleaded guilty October 26 to extortion for accepting cash payments to not file drug and gambling charges against a crack cocaine distributor. Robinson, 46, and Ruleville Assistant Police Chief Larry Mitchell, 33, were indicted by a federal grand jury in July on charges they provided protection to crack dealers and people they thought were crack dealers between December 2003 and June 2006. Robinson was originally charged with two counts of extortion and four counts of attempting to aid in the possession of crack cocaine with the intent to distribute, but the feds dropped all but one extortion count in exchange for the guilty plea. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
In Biloxi, Mississippi, a veteran Biloxi Police Department officer was sentenced Monday to 5 years in prison for selling Ecstasy. Officer Darrell Cvitanovich Jr. pleaded guilty earlier this month after he was arrested when a June raid of his home turned up several Ecstasy tablets. Circuit Court Judge Robert Clark sentenced Cvitanovich to 15 years in prison, but suspended 10. Cvitanovich has until noon on November 15 to turn himself over to the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
In Milwaukee, a former Milwaukee Police Department detective was sentenced last Friday to four years in prison on federal cocaine distribution and conspiracy charges. Detective Larry White, a 10-year veteran of the force, transported cocaine from Illinois to Wisconsin for his then brother-in-law in 2004 and 2005, earning $1,000 per trip, according to court records. During sentencing, White's lawyers played for sympathy, arguing that White had become addicted to cocaine because of job stress and the killing of a nephew. The sob story must have worked because US District Court Judge Lynn Adelman sentenced him well below the advisory federal sentencing guidelines. Under the guidelines, he should be doing 5 ½ to 6 years.

stalking by LEOs...
Comment posted by Anonymous on Tue, 05/15/2007 - 1:13amI am sorry to hear of your problems. I faced similar until they finally got me with enough pills to send me to the pen. Here in Canada, first timers get out in six months no matter what the sentence is, if you jump through their hoops... I protested quietly, did the minimum, and got out. Needless to say, I got stoned within an hour of being released, and during my parole, I was still followed.
Stay strong, and always be cool...don't argue, except in court, don't tell anybody anything, be polite, and hold your ground. Above all, never believe anything they tell you.
Good luck and God bless.

small town dirty crooked RAMBOS'
Comment posted by Anonymous on Sun, 10/05/2008 - 4:38pmI'm certain all cops aren't dirty,,but the few that are,,is like the rotton apple in the basket ruining the rest. I didnt do a damn thing,, was charged with fleeing and eluding,,felony,,and tazed to near death. fought it all the way to trial,,,him no longer a cop,,and a crooked atty. and just as dirty Pros. atty. A dash cam recorded the entire scene,,,even the states atty,,said it was on record. Was never entered ,,,,I wonder why? In a small town as this one,,too much cover-up cause they are basically all friends to one another. And victims like me,,,,and there are many,,pay the price for their personal gain with no guilt on their part for practically ruining another persons life in the process. The system has FAILED when WE as a community allow this to go on!
Gangstalking
Comment posted by Anonymous on Fri, 12/26/2008 - 12:41pmI've filed a grievance against the attorney who initiated the gangstalking mentioned above. We will see what happens. He has all the power and connections......yet he tried to have my son and I killed on a cross country trip- and stole my father's house and wanted the money back. EVIL. And he is on the "ethics" board of a church here in CT. Unbelievable.
Broken confidential informant system + community policing/watch
Comment posted by Anonymous on Sat, 07/04/2009 - 3:09amOur broken confidential informant system allows abuse and indefinite covert investigation by private parties on an innocent individual.
The purpose of community policing is to protect, unfortunately you have been accused of some crime (unknown to you) which starts the harassment.
Many private detectives (former government employees; police, FBI etc. and those who have experience with CONFIDENT INFORMANT SYSTEM) have used "credible informants" to start the harassment on behalf of their clients to destroy their adversaries.
Is it becoming a huge organized criminal business where informants are paid well and enemies are destroyed using government funded anti-drug/terror program A.K.A. gang-stalking throughout the internet.
Google "Jiverly Wong letter to the news" this guy was set up by a confidential informant accusing him of crimes he never commit resulting in 13 innocent dead. In his letter, what he described as undercover cops are C.O.P. citizens on patrol in community base policing program.
The citizens of America should raise their voice to re investigate this mass murder case and charge the confidential informant, the person or persons and the police department that handled the C.I.'s case with wrongful death of the 13 innocent victims.
The victim's family should be informed of the gang stalking activities was the cause of their love one death and file claims against all that were involved.

Inmates set up?
Comment posted by Anonymous on Sun, 11/05/2006 - 9:20pmIt seems that up to 100 staff members (a number given to me by a US Probation Officer in Fresno, Ca.) were involved in a conspiracy to smuggle tobacco into the Oakdale FCI in Oakdale,La. Oakdale FCI is a non-smoking facility. They were selling they tobacco to the inmates for $4,000 per carton! Inmates would have parents, friends and relatives send the monies to the inmates or someone else to pay the smugglers (BOP STAFF!) then break down the cigarettes and sell some to other inmates to lessen their very expensive smoking habit.
A staff member was caught smuggling the tobacco in to the institution and immediately told on everyone, especially the inmates. This particular staff member resigned; however was not punished. I do not believe anything was done to the remaining staff involved.
For the inmates who bought the tobacco from the staff, it is a completely different story. All of them were taken off the yard, put in the hole, received sanctions (loss of good time, loss of phone privileges, loss of visitation privileges and transfers to high security prisons. Further, many of those people that sent money to the inmates have been questioned and threatened by the government.
Talk about entrapment! These inmates did not seek out staff to engage in this activity. It was a plot hatched by the people in charge. Then when it blew up the only ones punished were those entrapped.
