Correction officer trying to trade early release of drug dealer NY
    #14248530 - 04/06/11 04:41 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

A Rikers Island correction officer has been busted for arranging the early release of a drug dealer in exchange for three kilos of cocaine, authorities said Wednesday.

Veteran Correction Officer Robert Whitfield was arrested Tuesday in the Inwood section of Manhattan, near a drop-off point where he had sent an accomplice to pick up the drugs, prosecutors said.

"The charges in this case accuse one correction officer of betraying the public's trust in the most reprehensible way," said city Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan.

"Robert Whitfield is alleged to have used his power at Rikers Island and his access to incarcerated drug dealers for personal financial gain," Brennan said. "Not only is he accused of soliciting bribes to free an inmate, but he is charged with taking payment in cocaine."

Whitfield is expected to be arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on felony charges of possession of a controlled substance, conspiracy, bribe taking and official misconduct.

Brennan said Whitfield told an inmate earlier this year that he could secure an early release in exchange for cash and drugs.

Word of the bribe prompted Brennan's office to launch an undercover investigation on Whitfield with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and the city Department of Investigation.

In a phone call with an undercover DEA agent posing as a cohort of the inmate, Whitfield agreed to have the prisoner released once he received the cocaine delivery, officials said.

At 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Whitfield sent Islime Duvivier to pick up the drugs near the intersection of Broadway and Dyckman St. in Inwood.

Duvivier was busted as soon as he accepted the coke. A DEA strike force and DOI investigators nabbed Whitfield in his car two blocks from the drop off site.

DEA Special Agent John Gilbride said Whitfield's behavior is a slap in the face to everyone in law enforcement.

"This investigation identified this individual who swore an oath to keep prisoners in jail when in reality he was going to attempt to break unknown individuals out of jail only to make a profit," Gilbride said.

DOI Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn said Whitfield has taken "corruption to a new level."

Someone's going to have a whole lot of alone time to think about things.

I hope he likes a taste of his own medicine. It's too fucking obvious everyone knows people shouldn't be prosecuted for drugs, but anyone in the legal system won't hesitate to throw someone's life away for their own personal gain. It makes me sick.
