NEW YORK, April 26 (UPI) -- A New York policeman has pleaded guilty to helping a gang rob drug dealers of $1 million in cash and more than 500 pounds of cocaine.
Prosecutors said Emmanuel Tavarez, 31, an eight-year NYPD veteran, used his badge, service weapon and stolen NYPD raid jackets as he and his heavily armed crew targeted at least 100 drug dealers in New York, Philadelphia and Bridgeport, Conn., in a 10-year crime spree, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
