NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - State authorities are reviewing past and pending drug cases after the head of the New Haven police narcotics unit was arrested on theft charges in a federal sting, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Lt. William White was charged last week with stealing nearly $30,000 in what he thought was drug money but was actually cash planted by the FBI at investigation scenes. He was also accused of taking tens of thousands of dollars in bribes from bail bondsmen in return for capturing fugitives who skipped bail.
"We are more closely scrutinizing the pending cases and any other cases that are brought to our attention" involving the arrested officers, New Haven State's Attorney Michael Dearington told The Associated Press.
