Good ol' NJ pigs in the news again. half a dozen drug cases dropped by prosecutor, suspects accuse police of planting drugs. Would think police in Camden wouldn't need to fabricate reasons to arrest people.. ( camden has more gangs, murders and drugs then most cities in the country)
CAMDEN â?? The Camden County Prosecutor's Office has moved to drop charges in at least a half-dozen drug cases.
Defense lawyers and one of the men whose charges could be dropped told The Philadelphia Inquirer that four officers planted drugs on suspects.
In a jailhouse interview, Robert "Biggum" Henderson said one of the officers twice planted drugs when he refused to cooperate with police to bring in other offenders.
Lawyers said the same thing happened to others. One man claims two of the officers beat him and planted cocaine on him â?? besides the marijuana he acknowledges he was holding.
A lawyer for a police union said it is just the word of convicts. The officers are suspended but have not been charged.
Neither the Prosecutor's Office nor Police Department have commented.
