Bad Cop: Former police officer sentenced six years




What started out as a simple status hearing in Bradley County Criminal Court Tuesday resulted in a former Cleveland police officer entering a plea of guilty to seven felonies.


Quote from the article:

Fourteen-year Cleveland police officer Nathan Thomas, 39, pleaded guilty to two counts of prescription fraud, possession of Schedule II narcotic (oxycodone) for resale, possession of Schedule III narcotic (hydrocodone) for resale, forgery and two counts of aggravated statutory rape, according to 10th Judicial Assistant District Attorney General Cindy Schemel.

Thomas was sentenced to a total of six years in a Tennessee Department of Corrections prison. The former officer will be eligible for release after serving 30 percent of his sentence.

Thomas was first arrested Jan. 5, 2009, on charges he was selling prescription painkillers and anti-anxiety medications after a two-year investigation carried out by the 10th Judicial District Drug Task Force.



Judicial Drug Task Force Director Mike Hall said the investigation into Thomas’ alleged illegal activities was difficult because it was “against a fellow officer.” Really? So if it is a cop your investigating it was “difficult” to investigate and arrest a cop who was dealing drugs and having sex with minors. Really? Doesn’t seem difficult to me. Scum is scum.
