This week, a Connecticut
cop let his bad habits get on top of them.
Though we have a general policy of not going after simple possession charges
-- everyone has their foibles -- this cop is charged also with distribution.
Without further ado:
In Bridgeport, Connecticut,
a former police officer pleaded guilty January 18 on federal oxycodone
possession and distribution conspiracy charges. Jeffrey Streck, 39,
was arrested in March by the FBI after a yearlong investigation that uncovered
a large cocaine and marijuana distribution ring in the Bridgeport area.
During the investigation, Streck was overheard making phone calls to arrange
buys of Oxycontin, the popular pain reliever containing oxycodone.
The 12-year veteran who made detective in 2003 faces up to 20 years in
prison when he is sentenced on April 7.
