PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A plumber told jurors in a police corruption trial that undercover agents burst into his home, took $10,000 in tuition money from a safe and planted methamphetamine and a digital scale.
Police paperwork showed the officers now on trial reported only finding only $8,000 in the safe. Prosecutors also said the officers also reported only about half of the $1,200 that plumber Theodore Carobine had in his pocket.
The testimony Friday came in the trial of six former drug squad officers charged with stealing cash and drugs from suspects, planting evidence and lying in court.
