Police Officer Pleads Guilty In Robberies of Drug Dealers

Police Officer Pleads Guilty In Robberies of Drug Dealers

A New York City police officer pleaded guilty on Monday to charges that he participated in a ring that robbed drug dealers, an operation that officials say yielded more than 550 pounds of cocaine and $1 million in drug proceeds.

The case against the officer, Emmanuel Tavarez, 31, was scheduled to go to trial in Federal District Court in Brooklyn before Judge Sandra L. Townes, with jury selection set for Monday.

Mr. Tavarez, who joined the force in July 2002, spent most of his career with the Transit Bureau. Prosecutors said he used his badge and fake search warrants to conduct raids on the drug dealers. He and his co-conspirators then kept the drugs and money taken in those raids.

Prosecutors said Mr. Tavarez helped the robbery crew appear legitimate by outfitting its members with N.Y.P.D. raid jackets and other equipment and paraphernalia. During one robbery, they said, Mr. Tavarez restrained a victim with handcuffs.

After suspicions arose, he was placed on modified assignment in August 2009. Stripped of his gun and badge, he was assigned to monitor feeds from surveillance cameras at a public housing complex in Queens.

Mr. Tavarez pleaded not guilty after his arrest last May; at the time of his arrest he was suspended without pay. On Monday, he pleaded guilty to three charges: robbery conspiracy; conspiracy to distribute heroin and cocaine; and the use of a firearm in the course of those crimes.

His lawyer, Raymond L. Colon, said, “The quantity of evidence was a bit overwhelming.” But Mr. Colon described the situation as “tragic,” adding that Mr. Tavarez’s “significant other” gave birth to his child several months ago. The baby was conceived shortly before Mr. Tavarez’s arrest, Mr. Colon said.

“For all intents and purposes he was a fine officer,” Mr. Colon said. “This was really an aberration, I think.”

Mr. Colon said he did not want to say anything that might jeopardize Mr. Tavarez’s standing during his sentencing, which is scheduled for July 29; Mr. Tavarez faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

The Police Department did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.

Ass rape is a meme that is taken far less seriously than it ought to be.  Jail is pretty bad as it is.
