Laredo police officer convicted of escorting cocaine loads [TX]

Laredo police officer convicted of escorting cocaine loads
09/27/2010 - San Antonio News

BROWNSVILLE — A former Laredo police officer is facing a minimum of 15 years in federal prison after being convicted of using his police radio to keep watch as he and a fellow officer escorted 88 pounds of faux cocaine through the city.

Orlando Jesus Hale, also known as “Chacho,” was convicted Monday after a jury trial in Laredo last week.

An FBI agent in November 2008 posed as a drug dealer to work a deal with Hale and fellow Laredo officer Pedro Martinez III, who pleaded guilty in February and testified against Hale.

The two were paid $1,000 each to escort 44-pound loads of what they thought was cocaine through rush-hour traffic.

A second undercover agent met with them in San Antonio for the payout.

The jury found Hale, 27, guilty of conspiracy with intent to distribute cocaine, which carries a sentence of 10 years to life in prison and a fine of up to $4 million. Jurors also convicted him of carrying a firearm during the crime, which carries a five-year-minimum prison term as well as a $250,000 fine.

Hale, who has been fired from the police force, remains free on $150,000 bail pending a Jan. 10 sentencing.

A sentencing date was not immediately available for Martinez, who has been free on $100,000 bail and faces 10 years to life in prison for conspiracy to traffic more than 11 pounds of cocaine.

“The shameless acts of a few are not indicative of the men and women that proudly protect the community and continue to serve with integrity and courage,” Laredo Police Chief Carlos Maldonado said in a prepared statement.

He'll be running a new kind of escort service once the cop makes it to prison.

This same exact thing happened in my city around a decade ago but it was a little more than 88 lbs and the coke was real.  This cop was hauling out 55 gal drums of it lol.  Stupid.
