Officers Mark Williams, James Venziale and Robert Snyder were named in a 14-count indictment announced Tuesday, along with Snyder's wife and three suspected drug dealers. The plan went awry when the officers tried to sell the 300 grams of heroin through an undercover federal agent, Assistant U.S. Attorney Virginia Gibson said. The police officers and two alleged drug dealers were arrested this week, along with Snyder's wife, Christal. All but the wife were being held pending detention hearings later this week, prosecutors said. It was not immediately clear if the officers had lawyers. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said he would quickly begin the process of terminating them. "Those three are history," Ramsey said. |
