Law Enforcement: This Week's Corrupt Cops Stories
Cops "misplacing" money, cops providing help to a pot crew, a court security officer peddling pain pills, and a jail guard getting caught bringing in the goodies. Just another week in the drug war. Let's get to it:
In Bartow, Florida, a Lake Wales police officer was arrested August 13 for providing police information to a friend of his who headed up a marijuana distribution ring. Officer Keenan Olson, 50, faces one count of conspiracy to engage in a pattern of racketeering action, five counts of unlawful use of two-way communications device, and four counts of unlawful use of computer access after he was tied to an investigation that ultimately netted 18 arrests. Olson was overheard on wiretapped phone conversations revealing that a certain car belonged to an undercover officer, confirming that an arrest warrant had not been issued for a ring member, and counseling his friend on how to move forward with his marijuana ring by avoiding police-controlled phone calls and drug buys. Olson resigned the day he was arrested.
In Newport News, Virginia, a Curry County Adult Detention Center officer was arrested August 14 after being caught on videotape supplying drugs and other contraband to prisoners. Officer Charlie Aguirre, 23, is charged with bringing contraband into the jail, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and attempt to commit a felony. He met an $11,000 bond and was released the same day. Aguirre is the fourth Curry County jail guard to be arrested for smuggling dope to inmates this year.
In Dedham, Massachusetts, a former Stoughton District Court security officer was sentenced August 15 to two years in jail for selling prescription pain pills on the courthouse grounds. Keely Johnson, 32, was convicted of two counts of possession with intent to distribute a Class C drug and drug violation near a school or park. After the state attorney general's office received a tip Johnson was peddling pills at the courthouse, undercover officers went in and twice bought Percocet tablets off her. Johnson only got three months for the possession with intent charge, but two years on the drug-free zone charge.
In Hamburg, Pennsylvania, a former Lykens police chief was sentenced Monday to nine months in jail and three months house arrest for "misplacing" $3,200 in money seized in drug arrests. Former Chief Chris Wade must also serve two years on probation and pay $6,000 in fines and restitution.

San Jose Police Deparment - Sergeant Mike Leininger Badge 2245
Comment posted by Anonymous on Wed, 09/03/2008 - 3:02pmIn San Jose California, A Political Pro-Activist who was attempting to organize a protest against Police Misconduct at Markham Plaza Apartments ( A local hub of corruption & rougue cops ) was falsely arrested (framed) by police for posession of crystal methamphetamine. The Markham Protest was supposed to take place during (but not at) the Cinco de Mayo Celebration in downtown San jose which, like the Marde Gras festival is known to get drasticly out of hand. Leininger had forwarned the activist that he would be framed if he spoke out against the corruption at Markham Plaza Apartments. The activist was attempting to pass fliers to an associate who would help to distribute them at the Cinco De Mayo Celebration & around Sant Clara Street, Market Street, etc. when San Jose Police Officer (Lowe) arrested the pair on false drug charges. ( Mongomerey / Cinebar ) - April 29th, 2007. They were jailed just as the festival began, & released just after it ended.
Tianno - Leininger Connection.
Comment posted by Anonymous on Wed, 09/03/2008 - 3:23pmSpeaking of San Jose Police Sergeant: Mike Leininger. He was supposedly best buddys with Armond Tianno. (Santa Clara County Sherrif's Department) He is the notorious Ex-Cop luetenant who is now doing 29 years in prison. Tiano was married to officer Lesa Stone (East Palo Alto Police) who was looking at 22 years in prison but got off becase she chose to snitch (testify against ) her husband at the direction of the District Attorneyes office. After the got fired by the EPA Police, she went to work as security manger at Markham Plaza Apartments, 2000/2010 Monterey Road, San Jose. What a Coincidence!
Lesa Stone - Markham Plaza
Comment posted by Anonymous on Wed, 09/03/2008 - 3:32pmLesa Stone got re-married to another East Palo Alto Cop. Her name is now Lesa Liu (I think) She is still as corrupt as ever! She works at a San Jose Homeless Shelter (Boccardo Reception Center) & constantly violates HMIS Policy & the law by disclosing confidential information on the homeless residents to the San Jose Cops. This shelter is run by EHC Lifebuilders / Emergency Housing Consortium & is only a few blocks from Markham Plaza & Markham Terrace Apartments. Leininger has been spotted at Markham Plaza Apartments a few times recently. I bet Leininger & Lesa Liu get together often & I bet that she shares all the shelter info with him on a regular basis.
her day's are numbered
Comment posted by Anonymous on Tue, 09/30/2008 - 3:55pmI agree. She is a filthy dirty bird. With a past like this, she should be working for some organized crime outfit. Who is doing the hiring over at E.H.C. ? Do they even know her back ground? And why is she working A E.H.C.? I will be writing a letter to The Mercury News very soon. Let's see what they think of this.
Lesa Stone

EHC Lifebuilders & San Jose Police Corruption.
Comment posted by Anonymous on Wed, 12/24/2008 - 12:17pmAnyone who would defend Lesa Stone is either lying, or is naive or
brainwashed. Even if it is true that Armand Tiano molested her kids, that does
not give her any excuse or justification to abuse the residents at
Markham Plaza Apartments or to
mistreat the homeless clients of the Boccardo Reception Center. For quite
awhile, EHC Lifebuilders has been
engulfed in one scandal after another, and each time, Lesa Stone is right in the
middle of it. Currently, there is a major fraud investigation by the Inspector
General of US Dept. of Health and Human Services,
and will no doubt be looking at Lesa Stone, Ky Le, Mike Leininger. and
others. Everything that Lesa Stone touches is filthy,
vile, and corrupted.
San Jose Police Corruption & Misconduct.
Comment posted by Anonymous on Fri, 01/02/2009 - 7:24pmThings seam to have toned down abit recently at Markham Plaza Aparments and the Monterey Road Area. Perhaps because of the heat generated from all the false drunk in public arrests & the attention because of all the racial profilng, etc.

Comment posted by Anonymous on Thu, 02/05/2009 - 12:41pmI'm just trying to figure out how in the hell a person with that type of background(regardless of IF you cooperated with the D.A. or not) can get a job at the homeless shelter and run around like her DooDoo doesn't stink, when in all actuallity your name should be Mrs. Pee Yew! She walks around like she owns the shelter and her philosopy is "It's her way or the highway". Something should really be done about this because it really is affecting the homeless while she still lives a lavish life!

Comment posted by Anonymous on Sat, 08/23/2008 - 1:42pmI'm from there! That's funny (but disturbing), and not surprising. Quite a few of the people I went to high school with are on the police force (farce), and I know a couple of things about their pasts that would make their supervisors cringe.
What a shame. Again, WHY is this stuff illegal? We're only going to see problems like this continue as long as prohibition is enforced.
....And that's my $0.02.
